The licensee provided the following inform … The licensee provided the following information via email:</br>Licensee notified (Ohio) Bureau of Radiation Protection (BRP) at approximately 11:00 AM on 7/18/07. Licensee reported that an Ir-192 radiography source in the guide tube of a radiography camera could not be fully retracted. Source is housed in an Amersham Model 660B camera (Serial number: B1558). Source activity is 86 curies. Source was being used at a temporary job site in East Palestine, Ohio. Radiography crew was from licensee's Pennsylvania office. Source was being used in a building away from customer's main production facilities, in a make-shift chamber behind 3 foot concrete block walls. Area has been secured by licensee personnel, roped off, with boundaries established to ensure no exposure to non-radiological workers or members of the public. Licensee stated that no over exposure licensee personnel are expected as a result of this occurrence. QSA Global has been contacted by licensee to assist with source retrieval. Information current as of 11:45 AM, 7/18/07.</br>UPDATE: Ohio BRP Duty Officer received call from QSA Global requesting waiver of 3-day notification for reciprocity work to enter Ohio and retrieve stuck source. Permission was granted. QSA Global rep stated that they would not be on-site until Thursday, 7/19. Information current as of 5:00 PM, 7/18/07.</br>UPDATE: BRP Duty Officer contacted Licensee rep at temporary job site to discuss security of the camera and source. Licensee stated that boundaries are being maintained at the site and that the licensee would have a two-man crew (radiographer and assistant) on site throughout the night until QSA Global arrived to effect repairs. Information current as of 5:30 PM, 7/18/07.</br>UPDATE: BRP Duty Officer spoke with licensee personnel Thursday morning, 7/19/07. Licensee had crews in attendance at the site throughout the night to maintain security of temporary job site. Licensee stated that the radiography camera had been maintenenced and resourced approximately two weeks ago. After discussions with the manufacturer the licensee suspects that a spring clip at the connecting nut may have dislodged, causing the nut to become misaligned and preventing the source from retracting. QSA Global is expected on site at approximately 1:30 PM on today (7/19/07). Information current as of 9:25 AM, 7/19/07.</br>Equipment is being returned to manufacturer for repair or disposal. </br>Ohio Notice: OH070004repair or disposal.
