The following was received from the Missis … The following was received from the Mississippi Division of Radiological Health via email:</br>On 30 September 2021, a Radiography crew was conducting radiography testing of a 12 inch pipe located at Plant Dudley, 308 Moselle Seminary Road, Moselle, Mississippi. During their test, the crew realized the 118 Ci, Ir-192 source (QSA Global, Sentinel, Serial#: 33736M) was not in the camera (QSA Global, Sentinel 880D, Serial#: D6695). The crew notified the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at approximately 1300 EDT and he instructed them to cover the collimator with lead shot bags and additional shielding. Upon arrival into the restricted area and (after) four (retrieval) attempts, the RSO discovered the cable behind the connector had separated (130 mR total on (RSO) pocket dosimeter). The collimator was facing down and the source was 90 percent shielded, according to the RSO. The RSO was approximately six inches from the source as he cut away the tube, which lasted for three and half to four minutes (saturated pocket dosimeter and electronic dosimeter read 6 R). During the entirety of the incident, the location was secure and under constant surveillance. Weather in the area was rainy. Upon completion of the source retrieval, the RSO brought the crank/cable to the Applied Technical Services (ATS) Metallurgy Lab to perform a chemistry and forensics investigation. Once the ATS, Inc. investigation is complete, the crank/cable will be sent to QSA Global. Currently, the camera is being stored at the Alabama storage location.</br>Mississippi Event Number: MS-210002</br>* * * UPDATE ON 10/09/2021 AT 0132 EDT FROM THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI (MCROBERTS) TO HOWIE CROUCH* * *</br>The RSO sent his dosimetry results to Landauer for immediate processing, and he received the results, Tuesday, October 5, 2021.
