Title	Agreement State Report - Unable to Retract Radiography Camera Source
Event Description	The State of Texas provided the following report via email: On October 21, 2016, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee that one of its radiography crews were unable to retract a 71 curie iridium-192 source into a QSA 880D radiography device. The radiographers had placed the guide tube stand on a wooden box to complete an exposure when, during the exposure, the stand fell off the box and landed on the guide tube crimping it enough that the source would not pass by it. The radiographers contacted the licensee's radiation safety officer who sent a team of individuals to recover the source. The recovery team placed lead shielding over the source and was able to remove the crimp enough to retract the source back into the exposure device. No one involved in the event received an exposure that exceeded any limit. No member of the general public was exposed due to this event. Additional information on this event will be provided in accordance with SA-300. The event location was Exxon Mobil in Beaumont, TX. Texas Incident #: I-9433.
