| Title | Process Gauge Shutter Stuck Open |
| Event Description | On 1/12/09 Consol Energy noted that the shutter stuck open on a pipe mounted process gage used in their facility in Bickmore, West Virginia. Consol had their RSO and Thermo-Fisher Scientific respond to the site to survey the area to ensure that the material was properly contained and that access to the area was restricted such that no one could inadvertently receive unmonitored exposure.
The gauge is an Ohmart Model SR-A with a 100 millicurie Cs-137 source. The gauge is generally licensed material. Consol is currently planning remedial actions to either replace or properly dispose of the gauge. |
