The following information was received via … The following information was received via E-mail:</br>On January 13, 2012, the Agency (Texas Department of State Health Services, Radiation Branch) was notified by the licensee that a source disconnect had occurred on January 10, 2012 at one of their job sites. The radiographer was using a Spec model 300 radiography camera containing a 116 curies cobalt-60 source. They had completed 20 exposures. After their last exposure, they approached the radiography camera and noted that their dose rate instrument was indicating that the source was not shielded. The radiographer returned to the end of the crank out device to make sure that he had retracted the source. The radiographer found that while the drive cable was completely retracted, the lock was not operating, and the source was still exposed. The radiographer contacted the company's Radiation Safety Officer (RSO). The radiographers set new boundaries at two millirem per hour and waited for the RSO. The RSO arrived at the location and determined that the source was located in the collimator. The RSO retrieved the source without incident. </br>An inspection of the connector on the source pig tail indicated that it had spread allowing it to disconnect. The licensee is sending the source to the manufacturer for inspection. No exposure limits were exceeded during this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.</br>Texas Incident #: I-8919.nce with SA-300.
