Title	Failure of a Radiographic Camera Locking Mechanism
Event Description	The following information is from a letter that was sent to the NRC: During an NRC inspection it was brought to our attention that we are required by 10CFR 34.101 to notify the Nuclear Regulatory Commission of any failure of a radiographic device or a component critical to the safe operation of the device to properly perform its intended function. The following is the information requested in 10CFR 34.101. 1. The key mechanism would not lock on a 660B Tech Ops Camera. 2. The failure of the locking mechanism is not known by us. 3. The manufacture of the equipment is AEA Technology QSA, Inc., Burlington, MA. 4. The place was Anchorage, Alaska and the date 7/23/2003. 5. The action taken to establish normal operations is ship the camera back to AEA Technology QSA and have them fix the lock mechanism when we need and additional camera. The iridium source was transferred to a IN Model IR-50 source changer and shipped to Industrial Nuclear for disposal. The camera at this time is empty and awaiting a time when we would need an additional camera. We have four operational cameras and do not have a need for this camera anytime in the foreseeable future. 6. We plan to have AEA Technology QSA repair the lock mechanism. 7. (Deleted) President of Alaska Industrial X-ray a former RSO and radiographer took the above action to prevent any over exposure to our personnel.
