The following is a summary of the informat … The following is a summary of the information provided by the Washington State Office of Radiation Protection via email:</br>On 6/22/23 at 1419 PDT, the licensee identified that a 56.4 Ci Ir-192 radiography source could not be retracted into the exposure device (QSA Model 880D) due to a crank malfunction. The radiographer immediately contacted the Radiation Safety Officer who provided source recovery/retrieval actions along with crank mechanism fixes. The radiographer secured the source in the exposure device at 1422 PDT. The problem with the retrieval was identified as a loose securing nut that caused the crank to spin freely and the drive cable to come out of the crank conduit.</br>During the incident, the radiographer's survey meter read 20 mr/hr at the crank location. A radiographer assistant expanded the boundaries and ensured the general public was not affected. The radiographer's total direct dosimeter reading after 6 normal radiography exposures and the source recovery actions were complete was 3 mRem. The incident took place at a temporary job site in Anacortes, WA. There were no overexposures or spread of contamination.</br>WA Incident Number: WA-23-010ntamination.
