| Title | Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received via e-mail:
On October 30, 2009, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee that they were reporting a stuck gauge event. The licensee stated that they realized that they needed to report the event after they reviewed a letter sent out by this Agency regarding the reporting of stuck shutters on gauges. The stuck shutter was found during a routine inspection on September 22, 2009. The gauge is stuck in the open position, which is the normal operating position for this gauge. Dose rates in the area were measured and found to be normal. The gauge is a Thermo Fisher model SH-F2 containing a 100 millicurie Cesium (Cs) - 137. The gauge is installed on the side of a vessel and does not pose any additional risk to their workers. The Licensee has contacted a repair service to repair the shutter. This Agency will provide additional information as it is received. Texas Incident number I-8683
The following update was provided by the State via e-mail: The gauge manufacturer was incorrectly identified as Thermo Fisher. The manufacturer is Ohmart/VEGA. The R4DO (Hay) and FSME (McIntosh) were notified. |
