Title	Agreement State Report - Radiography Device Damaged
Event Description	The following information was received via E-mail: On January 17, 2017, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee that on January 16, 2017 at 0200 CST a source retrieval had been completed. The source was Ir-192, 94 curies, serial number YA0408, used in a Spec 150 radiography device. The licensee reported that piping being imaged fell from the holding stand onto the guide tube crushing it and causing the source to become stuck and non-retractable. The radiographers called the radiation safety officer (RSO) who after several unsuccessful attempts to open the guide tube had to cut the source from the cable and placed it into the device with long reach tongs. No member of the public was exposed and the RSO maintained his exposure to not exceed regulatory limits. The licensee stated the device was taken out of service and will supply a detailed report of the incident. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA300.
