On March 12, 2010, at 1511 hours0.0175 days <br />0.42 hours <br />0.0025 weeks <br />5.749355e-4 months <br />, the Agency [State of Texas] received a request to perform work in the State of Texas under reciprocity from a nuclear gauge manufacturer [Ronan Engineering]. The request stated that the work was to repair two nuclear gauges with stuck shutters. The gauges are Ronan Engineering model SA1-C10 each containing 200 millicuries each of Cesium (Cs) -137. The Agency contacted the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for the licensee identified on the request and asked him if the events were reportable. The RSO stated that the two gauges had been removed from storage and installed on a piece of equipment for use. A service company was testing the equipment prior to placing it in service and found that the gauge shutters would not open. The licensee then contacted the gauge manufacturer to repair the gauges. The RSO stated that he was not aware of the reporting requirement and would submit a written report to the Agency. Additional information will be provided as it is received. Texas Event #I-8721 |
