| Title | Agreement State Report of Radiography Camera Malfunction |
| Event Description | Radiography operations were being performed with an AEA Technologies Model 741 camera with a 33 Ci source of Cobalt-60. The radiographers could not get the source to return to the shielded position. It was determined that a mechanical failure had occurred in the connector to the drive cable which transports the source from its shielded position into the exposure position and back again. The mechanical failure is being analyzed by the equipment manufacturer.
The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality stated that one of the individuals involved in the event received a film badge dose of 2552 mRem. State report ID is LA050001 |
