Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Radiography Camera
Event Description	The following is a summary of information received from the Alabama Department of Public Health via telephone: On August 3, 2020 at approximately 1700 CDT, the licensee was working at an asphalt plant in Mulga, AL, when one of its radiography cameras was damaged. The source of the radiography camera was being exposed when a magnetic stand, which was attached to the source, fell and crushed part of the guide tube. Multiple efforts to retrieve the source were unsuccessful. The licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) responded to the scene. The RSO was able to retract the source after cutting part of the guide tube. No un-badged personnel received any dose as part of the event and applicable dosimetry badges have been sent for emergency processing. The camera is being sent to the manufacturer for investigation. Alabama Incident Report No.: 20-16
