The State provided the following informati … The State provided the following information via facsimile:</br>Global X-Ray had a source disconnect at the McDermott Fabrication Facility in Amelia, LA on June 12, 2006. The radiographers were performing routine radiography on some welded pipe sections. After several exposures, the radiographers began having trouble with the crankout. The radiographers realized that the source had not come back to the shielded position at the end of the exposure. The radiographers followed Global X-Ray & Testing Operating and Emergency Procedures. The radiographers reset their boundaries to a 2 mR/hr level and maintained surveillance and called the office. The source was found in the source guide tube. The source was retrieved and returned to the exposure device with minimal exposure during retrieval. Both the exposure device and controls were sent to SPEC for evaluation. It appears that there was enough wear on the control adapter and the drive cable connector to allow a disconnect. Global ruled out a source misconnect being the problem due to the fact that the film that was exposed prior to the crank out trouble was developed and came out just as it should. There were no excessive exposures to the radiographers. The radiographers dosimeters read 10-12 mR and 35-40 mR. The retrieval process produced an exposure of 85 mR. The device that was involved with the disconnect is a SPEC 150 camera with serial number 139. The source in the camera was an 82 Ci (Curie) source of Ir-192 manufactured by SPEC with model number G-60 and serial number ND-1002.</br>LA Event Report Number: LA060012mber ND-1002.
