Title	Stuck Open Shutter on Paper Thickness Radiation Gauge
Event Description	The licensee's RSO reported an OHMART OD-120 paper thickness measuring gauge malfunction that resulted in the gauge shutter remaining open. The gauge contains a 300 millicurie Krypton-85 source. The RSO has cordoned off the area around the gauge and contacted a repair contractor. The measured radiation level was 1.6 millirem per hour at a distance of 1 foot from the gauge. The RSO stated the gauge is routinely serviced and maintained. The last time the gauge experienced a problem with the shutter was May 13, 1999 (due to a screw jam). The RSO was uncertain as to the specific CFR reporting criteria but during discussions with the RSO he concluded that that 10 CFR 30.50(b)(2) is likely to be the applicable CFR reporting requirement. The RSO also planned to notify the Virginia Department of Health Radiological Health Program.
