Title	Agreement State Report - Shutter Failure
Event Description	The following was received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: While performing a leak test and shutter check on October 31, 2012, it was discovered that one of the level gauges had an inoperable shutter. Because the location of the gauge was on an operating tank and inaccessible to personnel, no exposure issues were plausible. The device is identified as: Manufacturer: Ohmart Corp Cincinnati OH Model: Minirad II Source Holder Model: SHF2 Isotope: Cs-137 Activity: 500 mCi The manufacturer was notified to make repairs. The licensee plans to increase shutter testing and have the manufacturer install a cover over the source holder to better protect it. DEP plans to follow up with a reactive inspection.
