The following information was received fro … The following information was received from the State of Texas via Email:</br>On February 5, 2008, the Agency was notified by the licensee that one of their crews had contacted their office and informed them that the guide tube on their camera had detached from the camera housing and a 91.4 curie Iridium (Ir) 192 source could not be retracted into the camera. The crew was instructed to maintain surveillance of the area until the source recovery team got to their location. Once there, the source recovery team determined that the source drive cable was no longer in the gear housing. They then cut the drive cable housing about one foot from the gear housing. The drive cable was located, and they manually pulled the cable and returned the source to the shielded position. The cause of the failure was determined to be a build up of material in the threads of the camera where the guide tube connected to it. This prevented the guide tube from adequately threading into the camera and allowing the guide tube to separate from the camera during use. The camera was inspected and cleaned. All cameras of similar design were also inspected. No other cameras were found to have the same problem. This event is closed.</br> </br>This event was reported within 24 hours of the event using the NMED reporting system and not to the HOO (NRC Headquarters Operations Officer). Failure to properly report this event was determined after a review was conducted of all radiography related events reported in the State of Texas from September 1, 2006 to March 31, 2009. This review was initiated in response to the State of Texas Incident Investigation Program (IIP) determining that they had failed to correctly interpret the requirements for reporting this type of event. The state used 10 CFR 34.101 to report these events, and not 10 CFR 30.50(b)(2), due to conflicting interpretations of NRC rules requiring reporting.</br> </br>In an effort to prevent a reoccurrence of this, each member of IIP was required to read Information Notice 2001-03, Incident Reporting Requirements for Radiography Licenses, dated April 6, 2001.
