On August 10, 2022, at 12:59 p.m. [EDT], the [Virginia] Office of Radiological Health Radioactive Materials Program (RMP) received an incident notification from the licensee. The source, 5 millicuries of Cs-137, could not be retracted behind the shutter during routine operations. The incident occurred on August 10, 2022 at about 12:00 p.m. (noon). The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) stated that the insertion source detached from the retrieval cable during routine operations (due to high vibrations). The source was stuck in the dip tube (inside the insulation vat). They performed radiation surveys showing that no elevated levels were occurring outside of the insulation vat. Based on the notification, there was no personnel or public exposure due to this incident. The RSO contacted Berthold Technologies to come and perform the source retrieval. They are planning on arriving on August 11, 2022. This notification will be updated when additional information is obtained. | On August 10, 2022, at 12:59 p.m. [EDT], the [Virginia] Office of Radiological Health Radioactive Materials Program (RMP) received an incident notification from the licensee.
