| Title | Radiography Camera Source Failed to Retract |
| Event Description | The licensee was operating approximately 100 miles offshore performing gamma radiography on new pipeline. After taking a camera shot, the crew attempted to retract the 58 Curie Ir-192 source back into the shield when the source failed to retract. The crew isolated the area and contacted the RSO. The RSO flew out to the site and was able to retract the source into the shield. The camera and controls was returned to the vendor, AEA Technologies, for inspection and repair. There was no personnel injuries or over-exposures due to this event.
The licensee notified NRC Region IV. |
