| Title | Stuck Source |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by Alabama Radiation Control via email:
The licensee's representative called an Alabama Radiation Control staff member to report that an RT [radiographic testing] crew working at Alabama River Cellulose in Perdue Hill, AL, called to advise that a radiography source could not be retracted. The call was received by the radiation control staff member at about 1715 CDT on 9/14/23. The representative did not have many details, and was preparing to leave the ATS [Applied Technical Services] office in Marietta, Georgia to respond. Alabama Radiation Control received a report from the licensee's representative between very late on 9/14/23, to very early on 9/15/23, that the source was able to be retracted. The representative stated that a wire in the crank was apparently damaged. Alabama Radiation Control will provide more information as the investigation continues.
