| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Source Retrieval |
| Event Description | The crew [for H&H X-Ray Services] was x-raying pipe at a temporary job site in Elm Grove, LA. Due to the configuration, the camera was above the guide tube and the source and guide tube were on a surface below. The camera slipped and fell approximately 18 inches and landed on the guide tube and crimped the guide tube not allowing the source to be returned to the shielded position. A survey indicated the source was still in the guide tube. The boundaries were maintained until the RSO and his assistant arrived to perform the retrieval. Following the source retrieval procedure, the source was placed into a shielded source changer, QSA Global 650L, and returned to the company's West Monroe, LA storage location. Except for the guide tube, none of the equipment was damaged. Exposures to the crew and the retrieval crew were minimal.
Reported to the LA Department of Environmental Quality 08/13/2015 at 1533 CDT. Exposure Device AEA/QSA Model 880 Delta, SR D2767, Source: 58 Ci Ir-192, Model A424-9, SN 18108G State Event Report ID No.: LA 150013 |
