| Title | Texas Agreement State Report |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Texas via email:
While removing gauges from the vessels they were attached to, in response to an investigation into a source disconnect on a different gauge [see EN #44609], the licensee found that a second source had separated from its operating rod and was located inside the insertion well. The source will remain in the well until its removal can be scheduled. The area has been isolated. Since the source separated inside the insertion well near its normal operating position, there was no additional exposures to members of the public. Two similar gauges were closed, removed from their mountings, and placed in storage. Four other devices containing radioactive sources have been closed and the shutters locked. Surveys have been completed to verify the sources are inside these gauges. The gauge involved is a Thermo Measure Tech Model 5191 level measurement gauge serial number B45, containing a 253.4 milliCuries (decay corrected) Cesium (Cs) - 137 source serial number B45. The licensee stated that they had informed the State of the event on 11/26/08. Texas Report No. I-8594 |
