Title	Safety Equipment Failure
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency) by email: On February 16, 2022, the Agency was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that one of his crews [at a temporary job site in Baytown, TX] were unable to retract an 89 Curie iridium - 192 source back into a QSA 880D exposure device. The radiographers were performing radiography when a pipe fell on the guide tube crimping it to the point that the source assemble could not pass through it. The radiographers isolated the area and contacted the company's RSO. A retrieval team went to the location and was able to recover the source within the hour of the start of the event. No member of the public received an exposure from the event. The radiographers did not exceed any exposure limits. The radiographer's dosimetry will be sent for processing. Texas Incident #: 9914
