A source recovery team was sent to the location and the source was returned to the exposure device and locked in the fully shielded position. The RSO did not know how the crew discovered the source was still in the guide tube. The RSO stated that the self reading dosimeter of the radiographer who moved the exposure device was reading off scale and that his personnel dosimeter was being sent to the dosimetry processor for immediate processing. The RSO stated that the radiographer did not perform a post exposure radiation survey prior to moving the camera and that the radiographer stated that their alarming dosimeter did not alarm. The RSO stated that he did not know how long or how close the radiographer was to the source while they were moving the exposure device. The RSO stated that the radiographer has been removed from all duties involving exposure to radiation. The RSO stated that no other individual received an exposure of concern.
