| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Texas via email:
On March 26, 2014, the Agency [State of Texas - Department of State Health Services] received information that a source disconnect had occurred in November of the previous year. A subsequent report from the licensee received April 1, 2014 indicates that the disconnect occurred on November 12, 2013 at a temporary field site just west of Wink, Texas. The drive cable had become worn, allowing the source to be pushed out without being fully engaged with the pigtail. The source was pushed out of the guide tube but did not retract when the drive cable was cranked in. The camera was a QSA Model 880D S/N D6125, source QSA Global model A424-9 Ir-192 at 66.7 Ci, S/N 99589B. The source was recovered without further incident by attaching another drive cable.
