Title	Source Disconnect
Event Description	The following was provided by the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency): On June 29, 2023, the Agency was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that a source disconnect had occurred on June 28, 2023, at a temporary job site. The device (camera) was a SPEC 150 exposure device containing a 43 curie Iridium-192 source. The radiographers had placed the exposure device on an I-beam 15-feet above the floor to shoot a pipe. The device was raised to the pipe using a person lift. After the last shoot, the radiographer removed the guide tube and placed the guide tube and camera in the person lift with them. The radiographer stated they had performed a survey as they approached the camera and said the reading was bouncing up and down. The radiographer stopped halfway up and verified the crank-out indicated that the source was retracted. The radiographer removed the camera and guide tube and lowered them to the floor. Both radiographers noted their self-reading dosimeters were off scale. The radiographers contacted the RSO who had them set up a 2 millirem boundary and a qualified individual then retrieved the source. The source and camera were returned to the licensee's storage location. The radiographers' badges were sent for processing. On June 29, 2023, the RSO reported both radiographers' badges read less than 100 millirem. Additional information has been requested and will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.
