Title	Detached Source
Event Description	The following was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Department) via phone and email: On March 26, 2024, the Department was notified by the licensees radiation safety office (RSO) that earlier this day a radiography crew had a source disconnect while using a SPEC 150 exposure device. The device contained a 23 curie, iridium-192 source. The disconnect occurred on the first shot of the day. The RSO reported that the radiographers had completed set up for the first shot but had failed to properly connect the guide tube to the camera. When the radiographers cranked the source out and it hit the collimator, the guide tube popped loose from the camera. The radiographer immediately attempted to crank the source back into the camera but when the source reached the end of the guide tube the source pigtail disconnected from the drive cable. The radiographers set up new boundaries and contacted the RSO. An RSO from a nearby office responded to the location. The RSO was wearing a self-reading dosimeter (SRD), alarming rate meter, and TLD [thermoluminescent dosimeter] exposure badge. The RSO placed the camera on the source for shielding, attached the source back to the drive cable, and retracted the source into the camera. The responding RSOs SRD was reading off scale after retracting the source. The badge has been sent to the licensees dosimetry processor for emergency processing. The licensee does not believe any individual exceeded any limit due to this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident # 10095
