| Title | Stuck Source |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Utah Division of Radiation Control via email:
An industrial radiography source failed to return to the shielded position. While setting up for a shot, the radiographers repositioned the drive cable to improve their view. The cable was inadvertently placed on a hot pipe, melting approximately 5 feet of the 35-foot drive cable near the connection point. As a result, the source could not be retracted into the shielded position. The radiographer notified the radiation safety officer. A source retrieval team was dispatched to the site. The team removed the drive handle and manually pulled the source back into the camera, securing it in the fully shielded position. One licensee personnel, trained in source retrieval, received the most dose during the incident at 28 mR during the retrieval operation according to his Mirion Instandose dosimeter and corroborated by his worn personal electronic dosimeter.
