Following the last exposure of the day, the source failed to retract into the locked and secure position within the device. The locking mechanism had tripped while the ball stop was outside the lock. The source was inside the s-tube but not in the locked position. The source could not be cranked out of the guide tube either. The key was removed and the radiographer was unable to unlock the camera when the key was re-inserted to retract the source. The radiographer was able to manipulate the locking mechanism so that the lock reset and the source was fully retracted. The licensee reported that its investigation (had determined) no one had exceeded any dose limits as a result of this event. The licensee did not believe it was a reportable event and did not notify the Agency. The exposure device was cleaned and returned to service by the licensee. Further information will be reported in accordance with SA-300 as it is obtained.</br>Texas Incident #: I-9241 it is obtained.
