| event text = The licensee [Flowserve US Inc.] performing Booth IR has an automatic IR setup that uses source switches to stop the extension of the source for IR operations. The source switch at the end of the guide tube failed and the source [Ir-192] extended beyond the end of the guide tube and got stuck. The licensee contacted Amersham (the manufacturer of the camera) for advice. By following Amersham's suggestions the licensee was able to remotely retract the source back into the guide tube, and from there to retract the source back into the camera in the fully shielded position. The licensee intends to have the source leak tested as soon as possible and said they would submit a complete report within 30 days. | | event text = The licensee [Flowserve US Inc.] performing Booth IR has an automatic IR setup that uses source switches to stop the extension of the source for IR operations.
