Event Description	The following was received from the State of California via email: On 05/18/18, RSO [radiation safety officer] contacted RHB [Radiologic Health Branch] to report an incident where one of their radiographic exposure devices was left unattended at a job site inside a refinery. Licensee reported that due to a miscommunication, around 6:00 am [PDT] on 05/18/18 a camera was left unattended in an uncontrolled unit within the Chevron Refinery, in Richmond, CA, for several hours before it was discovered and placed it under licensee's control. The camera involved is a Model Ir-100, S/N 4850, Source S/N 223D containing 86 Ci of Ir-192. RHB will be following up on this investigation.
