| Title | Agreement State Report - Source Retraction Failure |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the State of Texas via email:
On March 3, 2018, the Agency [Texas Department of State and Health Services] received notice that a source retraction failure had occurred on March 2, 2018 around 1200 CST. The camera was a QSA Global 880D with a 61 Curie Iridium-192 source. During source retrieval the crank cables snapped and the source was just outside the camera. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) reported to the scene and covered up the source with shielding. The RSO made multiple trips to cover the source with lead and after he completed the operation he noticed his 0-200 mrem pocket dosimeter was off scale. The RSO will send off his film badge for an emergency reading on March 5, 2018. No other personnel received any excessive dose from the event. Additional information will be supplied as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident #: I-9550 |
