| Title | Radiography Camera Source Unable to Be Retracted |
| Event Description | Radiographers were performing an exposure when the guide tube disconnect failed and the guide tube disconnected from the camera. This prevents the source from being fully retracted into the camera. The division manager, trained in source retrieval, was able to get the source into the camera and into its shielded position. No overexposures occurred. The quick disconnect was replaced and tested and the camera was returned to service.
The camera was a SPEC-150 using a 62 Ci Ir-192 source. |
