| Title | Agreement State Report - Radiography Camera Source Disconnect |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of New Jersey via fax:
A source disconnect occurred during normal radiography operations. The exposure device was a SPEC 150 containing 29 Ci of lr-192. The operators immediately adjusted perimeter barriers and notified their RSO. A source retrieval team arrived in an hour and were able to successfully return the source to its shielded position within another hour. No overexposures were received. Direct reading dosimeters showed no exposure to the radiography team, and a dose of 33 mR and 5 mR were received by the source retrieval two-person team. The event was reported to be caused by operator error in failing to assure that the source tube was securely connected to the camera. |
