Event Description	The following was received via email: Qualspec, LLC. Radiation Safety Officer, reported the following source disconnect incident on July 21, 2016, at [1843 PDT] via email. The incident took place at the Valero refinery, located at 3400 East Second St., Benicia, CA, at approximately 1430. During their 4th and last exposure, they were not able to return the radiography source (Ir-192, 63 Ci) to the INC 100, S/N 4848 radiography camera's shielded position. The RSO and ARSO, were notified right away and responded immediately to the location. After their assessment, they determined the source pigtail had become detached from the drive cable due to the drive cable ball connector breaking off. There was no other sign of physical damage to the camera, the crank assembly or related equipment. After phone consultation with the manufacturer, a retrieval method was determined and the source was safely secured back into the exposure device. TLD dosimeters have been sent to Radiation Detection Company for emergency processing.
