While performing radiography on a new tankWhile performing radiography on a new tank located in the northeast corner of the Milford Power Plant, 55 Shelland Lane, Milford, CT, the magnetic stand fell on the guide tube and crimped the tube and the source cannot be properly retracted into the shielded position. The radiography camera is a model AEA 60B, serial number - B3562 containing a 62 Curie Ir-192 source, serial number - 28814B. The radiography crew established a boundary around the source at a distance where the exposure rate is less than 2 mrem/hr. Access to the boundary is being controlled by the radiography crew through visual surveillance. QSA-Global in Burlington, MA has been contacted to assist in retrieving the source and should be onsite at approximately 1930 EDT on 07/22/06. There are no indications of any abnormal radiation exposures due to this event at this time.</br>* * * UPDATE ON 7/22/06 AT 2012 EDT FROM C. SMITH TO A. COSTA * * *</br>QSA-Global personnel were able to remove the kinks from the guide tube and then manually return the source to the device's shielded position. The highest dose received during the procedure, which was complete at 1940 hrs, was 65 mrem to the whole body as measured by pocket dosimetry. Extremity dose measurement will be available after finger dosimetry is processed. The radiography camera will be sent to QSA-Global for evaluation, repairs and leak test.</br>Notified R1 (J.
