| Title | Radiography Camera Source Disconnect |
| Event Description | While the licensee was performing radiography work in Twilight, West Virginia, a radiography camera (SPEC-150; Ir-192; 72 Ci; S/N: WH0603) source became disconnected and did not return to the shielded position. The West Virginia site called the corporate RSO at 0200 on 9/17/2015, who then called a qualified Pennsylvania RSO in order to supervise source retraction. The qualified RSO verified boundaries at the 2mR level. The source was retrieved and placed in the shielded position. The camera was secured and is out of service. There was no indication of excessive dose. |
