Title	Shutter on Nuclear Gauge Stuck Open
Event Description	During an inspection on October 19, 2009, a process nuclear gauge was found to have a stuck open shutter. The gauge is a Kay Ray Model 7062P, serial number 5757, containing 100 milliCurie Cs-137 source. It was mounted 20 feet above the floor and no exposure to personnel occurred. At this time it appears that Radiation Technology, Inc. of Austin, TX will provide repair service at a date yet to be determined. In the meantime, the crusher is in service and the gauge is in use with no plans to work on associated equipment. As the gauge is located about 20 feet above the floor with no immediate access, it is not likely to present a hazard. A notification of hazard will be placed in the operations log to prevent any unintentional access until the gauge can be repaired.
