Title	Agreement State Report - Fixed Gauge Shutter Failure
Event Description	The following report was received from the State of Texas via email: On July 19, 2011, the Agency [Texas Department of Health] received a call from the licensee's Radiation Safety Officer reporting that during a routine inspection on April 7, 2011, the shutter handle on an Ohmart/Vega Gauge model SHLG-1 broke off. The gauge serial number is 0678GK and contains 300 mCi of Cs-137. The gauge failed in the normally open position. The gauge was subject to condensation from a steam leak from above which caused the handle to rust. A vendor shut the gauge shutter on June 30, 2011. The gauge will be removed for disposal since the tank is no longer used. The failure did not create any additional exposure to any individual. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident No.: I-8872
