On August 12, 2011, the Radiation Safety Officer of American Electric Power, Clinch River Plant, reported a fixed gauge shutter stuck in the open position. The gauge is a Thermo MeasureTech Model 5197 containing 100 millicuries of cesium-137. It is a general license device used to measure levels in a fly ash precipitator hopper. Based on the licensee's lock-out procedures for entry into the hopper, the licensee has been authorized to continue operations.
