| Title | Damaged Radiography Camera |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (the Department) via email:
On April 25, 2023, the licensee reported damage to a QSA 880D (number D7890, source serial number 72481M), camera containing 105.8 Ci of Ir-192. While using the device shooting a 3-inch pipe positioned on a cart, the pipe fell off the cart and landed on the guide tube. The guide tube was damaged and left the source capsule in the exposed position unable to retract or to be placed back in the collimator. Lead blankets were placed on the damaged area of the guide tube. Dose rate at the established boundary was confirmed to be 0 mR/hr. The licensee staff calculated doses received to the 4 employees involved in the retrieval as 98, 310, 570, and 750 millirem. Badges have been sent to Landauer for emergency processing. The source was able to be secured safely in the device, locked in the licensee's vault, and tagged out of service. The device will be sent to the manufacturer to be inspected. The Department will perform a reactive inspection. More information will be provided upon receipt. PA NMED Event Number: PA230014 |
