Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Kay-Ray Density Meter
Event Description	The following was received by the State of Louisiana via fax: Louisiana Dept. of Environmental Quality was notified on April 2, 2013, by a written letter from Cornerstone Chemical Company. A Kay-Ray Cs-137 50 mCi (decay corrected to 31 mCi) density meter, model number 7062BP, serial number S93C1706 was removed in order to service a pipe during a turnaround activity. After the device was removed, the shutter was discovered to be stuck in the half closed position and would not completely close. An employee who carried the density meter was calculated to receive a radiation exposure of 1.8 mR total dose. BBP Sales serviced the shutter, reinstalled the density gauge, performed a leak test, and installation survey. Notification was given to all Cornerstone Chemical maintenance planning personnel and supervision in the acid unit to contact the RSO for any activities concerning radiation sources. All activities are to be conducted by licensed contractors. The general license registration is in the stages of being modified to a specific license. State event report number: LA-13-0015
