Title	Agreement State - Damaged Radiography Equipment
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Texas Department of State Health Service (the Department) via email: On August 27, 2024, the Department was notified by the licensee that one of its crews was working at a job site with a QSA 880D exposure device containing a 48 curie Iridium - 192 source. The crew was working in a shooting bay surrounded by concrete walls. While performing an exposure, the camera fell 18 inches from the pipe it was on, onto the guide tube, crimping the tube and preventing the crew from retracting the source into the camera. The radiographers drove the source back into the collimator and isolated the area. The radiographers contacted the radiation safety officer (RSO). The site RSO (SRSO) responded to the location. The SRSO added additional shielding to the collimator. The crimped section of the guide tube was removed, and the source was successfully retracted to the fully shielded position. The event was resolved in less than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. No individual received an exposure that exceeded any limit.
