| Title | Agreement State Report - Failure of Source Connection |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency via email:
Illinois Emergency Management Agency discovered a radiography incident involving McNDT Leasing, which had not been properly reported. The incident involved an exposure device (QSA Global model 880 Delta, serial #D13616) and a 3.7 TBq (100 Ci) Ir-192 source. A radiography team arrived at a job site on 12/1/2016 and, during equipment set up, noticed the drive cable connector was bent. Upon obtaining a new crank assembly, the team could not successfully crank out the source. The reel of the crank assembly did not move. After another failed attempt, they detached the crank assembly from the exposure device and noticed that place where the connector attaches to the source pigtail was worn and bent. The team returned to their facility and exchanged exposure devices. Preliminary investigation indicated that either the exposure device was damaged in previous work and had not been reported, or daily inspection and maintenance checks were inadequate or not performed prior to 10/11/2017. Corrective actions included obtaining new equipment. No exposures occurred since the source was not able to be cranked out of the device. Device/Equipment: Camera/ Radiography Manufacture: QSA Global, Inc. Model Number: 880 Delta Equipment Serial Number: D13616 Radionuclide: Ir-192 Activity: 100 Ci Illinois Item Number: 170517 |
