| Title | Part 21 Report Involving a Radiographic Sealed Source with a Potential Safey Concern |
| Event Description | The following information was provided via fax:
On October 17, 2005 I became aware of a condition involving a radiographic sealed source that may prove to be a safety concern to users of the sources. The manufacturer was promptly notified of the condition and a resolution was provided to IveyCooper via memo. The attached supplier corrective action has been generated and transmitted to Industrial Nuclear for 'Root Cause' and 'Action to Prevent Recurrence' dispositions. It provides details of the discovered condition. I am providing this notification in accordance with the requirements of 10CFR21. Date: 10/17/05 Supplier: Industrial Nuclear Company, 35 Flagship Dr., North Andover, MA 01845 Due Date: 12/17/05 Material: Model 702 Radiographic Source Quantity: 8 at IveyCooper, unknown quantity at other licensees Description of Nonconformance: Roll pins of source connectors protrude from the source connector bodies on sources purchased from Industrial Nuclear Company in North Andover, MA. The protruding pins may increase risk of disconnect or source hanging in guide tube. Per the manufacturer roll pins should not extend past the outer plane of the connector barrel. A dial caliper was used to determine the amount of stick-out. Note: Two of the sources had been in use since January 05. No operational problems had occurred during use. Corrective Action Taken: Per memo from Industrial Nuclear Company the roll pins were filed to a flush condition using a hand file. Sources were secured and locked within the exposure device during the operation. |
