Title	Agreement State - Stuck Open Gauge Shutter
Event Description	On May 19, 2011, the Agency [State of Texas] was notified by the licensee that the shutter on an Ohmart/Vega model SH- F2 containing 1.6 curies of Cesium (Cs) - 137 would not close. The licensee stated that they were making preparations to enter a steel vessel that is 12 inches thick to perform maintenance. The gauge shutter was to be closed before maintenance was started. Open is the normal position for the shutter therefore the gauge does not pose any additional exposure hazard. Access to the tank has been secured and will not be granted until the gauge is repaired. The licensee has contacted a service provider to make the repairs. The gauge was installed in October 2009. The cause for the failure is under investigation. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident number: I - 8852
