The gauge was installed in 1991 and contained a 20 millicurie Cesium (Cs) - 137 Source. The licensee conducted a radiation survey in the area of the gauge and found the dose rates to be normal. Open is the normal operating condition for the gauge therefore there is no additional exposure risk to their workers.

The licensee stated that the repair should be completed within the next 60 days. Texas Incident Number I-8746 |
