| Title | Unable to Retract Source Into Fully Retracted Position |
| Event Description | The following report was received via email from the Texas Department of State Services [the Agency]:
On January 18, 2023, the Agency was notified by the licensee that one of its radiography crews [working in Midland, TX] was unable to retract a 99.0 curie iridium - 192 [Ir-192] source into the fully retracted and locked position in a QSA 880D exposure device. The licensee stated they were able to retract the source into the exposure device, but it would not lock in the fully retracted position. An individual on the license approved to recover sources went to the site to retract the source. The licensee contacted the manufacturer who was able to provide instructions to the field team on how to return the source to the locked position. The licensee reported no overexposure occurred due to this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.
