| Event Description | The following report was received via e-mail:
Radiograph work was being performed on March 25, 2015, at Dominion Power in Dumfries, VA. After the second exposure was finished, the magnetic stand holding the source fell on the guide tube. The source became stuck inside the guide tube. [The radiographers] tried multiple times to retract the source, but did not succeed. At that time, the licensee secured the area and called the RSO [Radiation Safety Officer]. This occurred around 1830 EDT. The RSO and President [of MQC Labs] arrived at approximately 2200 EDT. The RSO called QSA Global, Inc. to retrieve the source. Subsequently, the RSO contacted the Virginia EOC to notify the VRMP [Virginia Radiation Materials Program] of the incident. QSA Global, Inc. arrived at 1330 EDT on March 26,2015, to retrieve the source at Dominion Power in Dumfries, VA. VRMP staff was present to observe the source retrieval. MQC LABS will submit its written report within 30 days. VRMP will review the report and discuss any corrective action with MQC Labs and Maryland RMP [Radiation Materials Program]".
