| event text = A representative for the Navy's master material license reported a safety equipment failure of a Gamma Radiography Camera with a 16 curie Iridium-192 source (Model 660) that was being used at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard. After an exposure with the camera had been completed, the radiographer was retracting the source and could not lock it into its safe position. After a second attempt, the radiographer was able to lock the source in place manually - the locking ring did not lock automatically as designed. The radiographer noted that the retraction cable on the camera had also become disconnected from the camera. The camera is being returned to the vendor (AEA) for inspection and repair. | | event text = A representative for the Navy's master material license reported a safety equipment failure of a Gamma Radiography Camera with a 16 curie Iridium-192 source (Model 660) that was being used at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
