The following report was received via phon … The following report was received via phone and email from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Department):</br>On October 13, 2024, the Department was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) that on October 12, 2024, one of their crew had experienced a source disconnect while using a QSA 880D exposure device. The device contained a 38 curie (RSO estimate) iridium-192 source. The disconnect occurred when the connector on the QSA manufactured drive cable separated from the drive cable. The exposure device had been suspended about 25 feet in the air to shoot a weld in a pipe rack. When the radiographers retracted the source after the first shoot, they noted that the dose rate readings on their survey meter were high. They cranked the source back out and attempted to retract the source a second time, but the readings remained high. They cranked the source out again, reset their radiation boundary, and contacted their RSO. The RSO responded to the site and was able to attach the source to a new drive cable and retract the source to the fully shielded position. The RSO stated that as soon as they completed their investigation, they will send the crank outs to the manufacturer for inspection. The RSO stated that no individual exceeded any exposure limit but will send the exposure badges for all personnel involved for processing. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.</br>Texas Incident Number: 10135</br>NMED Number: TX240035cident Number: 10135
