On November 9 2007, the agency was notified by the licensee of an event that occurred while they were performing radiography operations at a remote location. The licensee reported that the guide tube on a radiography camera containing a 75 curie Iridium (Ir) - 192 source was damaged, preventing them from being able to retrieve the radiation source back into the camera. The radiographer contacted the licensee's main office and was instructed to monitor the area and restrict access until the source retrieval supervisor arrived at the location. The supervisor was able to remove the crimp in the guide tube, allowing them to sufficiently retract the source into the camera. No exposures were received that exceeded regulatory limits. The licensee is redesigning their holder to prevent this from occurring in the future and provided additional training to their personnel. This event is closed. | On November 9 2007, the agency was notified by the licensee of an event that occurred while they were performing radiography operations at a remote location.
