| Title | Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Industrial Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the State of Wisconsin via fax:
On February 1, 2012, the Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section received notice that the licensee had a gauge with a stuck shutter. The device is an Ohmart SHD-0 fixed gauge (serial number 64781) originally containing 250 mCi of Cs-137. A licensed service provider unmounted the gauge and attempted to fix the shutter but was unsuccessful. The RSO placed the device in a secured, remote storage location with the radiation beam pointing into the ground. Exposure rates at 1 foot are less than 2 mR/hr. The Radiation Protection Section will continue to monitor the situation, pending replacement or disposal of the device, and will perform an inspection within the next two weeks.
