Title	Radiography Source Disconnect
Event Description	The following information was received via E-mail: On June 25, 2021, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee's Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) that while conducting radiography in their shooting bay, they experienced a source disconnect. The disconnect involved a QSA 880D exposure device containing a 60 curie iridium-192 source. The RSO stated the radiographer had completed an exposure and was entering the bay to exchange the film. As they passed the entrance beam the radiation alarm went off. The radiographer exited the area. The licensee was unable to retract the source. They contacted a service company who came to the licensee's location. It was determined that the ball on the drive cable had broken free of the drive cable. The service company was able to retract the source into the exposure device. No overexposures occurred due to this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident Number: I-9860.
