| Title | Agreement State Report - Stuck Gauge Shutter |
| Event Description | The following information was received via facsimile:
On February 22, 2012, the State of Texas was notified by the licensee that the shutter on an Ohmart SH-F1A nuclear gauge containing 50 millicuries of cesium 137 was found stuck in the open position. The gauge shutter was being closed to reduce dose rates in an area where calibration of equipment was to be done. Open is the normal position for the gauge and the gauge does not create any additional exposure risk to any individual. The licensee is making arrangements with the manufacturer for repairs to the gauge. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident #: I-8936 |
