On April 26, 2011, the Agency (Texas Depar … On April 26, 2011, the Agency (Texas Department of State Health Services) was informed by a licensee that on April 25, 2011, at 2200 (CDT) hours a QSA model 880D radiography camera containing 92 curies of Iridium (Ir) 192 fell from a 16 inch pipe it was sitting on. The camera landed on the guide tube side of the camera crimping the guide tube near the connection of the guide tube to the camera. This prevented the radiographer from retracting the source into the camera. The radiographers used a hammer and were able to remove the crimp from the guide tube enough to retract the source. No individual involved with the event exceeded an exposure limit based on their electronic dosimetry readings. The radiographer doing most of the source retraction work, radiographer 'A', had an electronic dosimeter reading of 1.5 Rem. The second radiographer, radiographer 'B', received 200 milliRem. The licensee stated that the exposure to the radiographer 'A' was high due to the inability to place shielding over the source due to the crimp being so close to the camera. The personnel dosimetry of the two individuals involved have been sent to the licensee's dosimetry processor for reading. The licensee stated that the camera would be leak tested on April, 26, 2011. The licensee is investigating the event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with Reporting Material Events SA-300.</br>Texas Incident Report # I-8839nts SA-300.
