On August 20, 2008, radiographers from Hun … On August 20, 2008, radiographers from Huntington Testing Services were performing radiography on a tank at the Clifty Creek Power Plant, located in Madison, Indiana, when a magnetic base fell and crimped the camera guide tube. At the time the damage to the guide tube occurred, the source was in the collimator. The crimped tube would not allow the radiographer to retract the source back into the shielded position. The radiographer immediately established a boundary and covered the source with lead shot bags, then contacted the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). </br>When the RSO arrived at the location, he was able to repair the guide tube enough to enable the source to be retracted into the shielded position. The camera was then transported back to the Louisville, Ky office of Huntington Testing Services. The guide tube has been replaced and the camera is available for service.</br>The licensee is investigating the incident to determine corrective actions. There were no overexposures as a result of this incident.</br>The camera was temporarily transferred from Huntington Testing Services' Kentucky license to their NRC license (issued in West Virginia) since Kentucky and Indiana do not have reciprocity. </br>The camera is a QSA Global 880 Sigma, serial number S1453 with a 85.3 Curie Ir-192 current source strength. Source strength at manufacture date was 103.9 Curies. The source serial number is 48578B.ries. The source serial number is 48578B. +
