Title	Agreement State Report - Fixed Level Gauge Source Failure to Retract
Event Description	The following information was reported to the NRC via facsimile: The Utah Division of Radiation Control was initially notified by telephone on April 3, 2007 at about 10:20 am MST by the licensee's consultant that a source of a fixed level gauge at the Hunter Power Plant near Castle Dale, Utah failed to retract into the safe shielded position. The gauge is a Texas Nuclear Model 5197, Serial Number 1305 level gauge containing 100 millicuries of Cs-137. The licensee contacted their service consultant who discovered that the handle on the gauge was bent. The consultant indicated that it appeared that someone had attempted to turn the handle on the gauge without pulling the button. This act had apparently bent the handle. When the licensee had attempted to close the device properly, the bent handle did not allow the drive cable to align properly with the source to retract it. This incident is being tracked by the State as Utah Report ID No. UT-07-0002. * * UPDATE AT 1320 EDT ON 5/7/07 FROM GWYN GALLOWAY TO S. SANDIN * * * The State of Utah representative called to correct the incident date from March to April. Notified R4DO (O'Keefe) and FSME (Morell).
