Title	Stuck Source
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Georgia Radioactive Material Program via email: On December 6, 2023, the radiography crew experienced an issue with retracting the source assembly into the shielded position and notified their radiation safety officer (RSO). The RSO removed an excessive bend in the guide tube. During disassembly it was determined that the guide tube was not connected to the exposure device. This resulted in creating a small gap that caused binding when retracting the source assembly. The radiographer's pocket dosimetry read 18 millirem and the assistant's read 11 millirem at 1057 [EST] and later at 1120 read 21 millirem for the radiographer and the assistant's read 11 millirem. At the shop, the guide tube was inspected, cleaned, and then challenged to verify its function. The radiation safety department identified that the radiographic operations did not notify the State of performing radiography in Cummings, Georgia. Corrective actions have been taken.
