Title | Stuck Source |
Event Description | The following information was provided by North Dakota Department of Health via email:
At 0955 CDT, Monday, May 20, 2024, the North Dakota Department of Health received a call from the Corporate, Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) of Braun Intertec Corporation (Braun). Brauns North Dakota [state] RSO received a phone call on Friday, May 17, 2024, at 0941 from a Braun radiographer on site indicating a 40.5 curie Iridium-192 source (QSA Model 424-9, S/N 91621M) was unable to be returned into the radiographic device (QSA Model 880 Delta S/N D15651). The radiographer had initiated a crank out of the source and immediately was aware something was not working properly. Attempts to return the source to the locked position failed. The RSO indicated that the source may not have been fully out of the radiographic device and inside the guide tube, but may have been out of the locked position yet still inside the radiographic device. The North Dakota RSO arrived on site at 1205 to perform the source retrieval. The Iridium-192 source was retracted into the radiographic device at 1315. Initial investigation indicates no dose exceedances/overexposures occurred during the retrieval process, and a faulty control assembly is the cause of the misconnect event. The control assembly has been removed from service. North Dakotas reference number: ND240002. |
