Title	Radiography Source Failed to Retract
Event Description	The following was received via an email from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation: The licensee reported that on July 21, 2021, while using a QSA Global Model 880 containing a 135.5 curie source of iridium-192, the source failed to fully retract and lock. The source serial number is 32578M and the camera serial number is D9477. The technicians secured the area by adjusting their 2 mR/hr boundaries to an unshielded source distance and immediately contacted their company [Radiation Safety Officer] (RSO). The licensee then contacted QSA Global who will be onsite on July 22, 2021, to retrieve the source and take the camera and entire crank and assembly mechanism with them for evaluation. The licensee will remain onsite to secure the boundary until QSA arrives. No overexposures have occurred and all proper procedures were followed. The cause of the malfunction remains unknown. More information will be provided when received.
