| Title | Disconnected Radiography Source |
| Event Description | The following was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services via email:
On June 19, 2021 at 0851 CDT, a radiography team from an Oklahoma licensee working under reciprocity in League City, TX had a source disconnect at a temporary worksite. They were conducting radiography on new pipeline construction. While retrieving the source after a shot, the source did not return to the camera. It appears the guide cable broke. The source was still in the collimator. The Radiation Safety Officer is present and they put up a barrier and no other personnel are in the area. No extra dose to the radiographers occurred. The device is a QSA Global 880, serial number D14864 containing a 90.1 Ci Iridium-192 source, serial number 31423m. The manufacturer, QSA Global, quickly retrieved the source around 1800 CDT. The manufacturer took the camera and associated equipment to complete a full inspection. Additional information will be provided as required by SA-300. Texas Incident Number: 9859 |
