Title	Stuck Source
Event Description	The following is a summary of information received from the State of Kansas: The state of Kansas received notification from the licensee that a fixed gauge cobalt-60 radiographic source is not retracting into the camera for storage following a radiographic exposure. The source moves freely to a point but seems to be stopped during movement in the guide tube about halfway back to the camera. Neither the automatic or the manual retrieval systems were able to retract the source any more than about half way. The licensee indicated that at no time were any personnel exposed or in any danger. The source is located in a secured fixed radiographic booth. The licensee has contacted the supplier of the equipment for assistance.
