Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Guide Tube on Radiography Camera Preventing Source Retraction
Event Description	The following information was received from the State of Wisconsin via email: The Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section received notice from the licensee's Corporate Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) that a radiography crew working at a temporary jobsite on February 23, 2015 had a source become stuck during radiography operations. The crew was using an Ir-192 source in a QSA Global 880 Delta camera. While the source was cranked out in the collimator, a pipe fell on the guide tube and crimped the tube such that the radiographers were unable to retract the source. Two radiographers who are trained in source retrieval were dispatched to the jobsite. They cut out a one-inch section of the guide tube and were able to retract the source into the camera. As indicated by pocket dosimeters, radiation doses received by the radiographers were beneath regulatory limits. The Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section will follow up with the licensee after receiving its 30-day written report. Additional updates will be provided through NMED. The licensee is sending the camera drive cable to the manufacturer for evaluation and has disposed of the damaged guide tube. Wisconsin Event Report ID No.: WI150004
