Title	Agreement State - Stuck Open Shutter on Level Gauge
Event Description	The following was received from the State of Georgia via email: Licensee's Radiation Safety Officer for PQ Corporation with Georgia Radioactive Materials License GA 976-1 reported to the Georgia Radioactive Materials Program [GRMP] on 1-16-14 that an Industrial Source Holder shutter failed to close (used for level measurements) leaving the source in the exposed position. This was discovered when the licensee was performing a semiannual shutter check and inventory for their gauges and source holders. Once this was discovered by the licensee, the entrances to the unoccupied building where the source holder is located was taped off to prevent any unauthorized entrance to the building. The licensee then contacted Thermo Fisher who will be sending a technician to repair the malfunctioning source holder on 1-28-14. The licensee indicated to the GRMP that the building will remain inaccessible until Thermo Fisher arrives to perform repairs on the source holder. The Licensee will inform the GRMP once the repairs have been completed. Source Holder: TN Technologies, Inc. Model: 5205 Source: Cs-137 Source Activity: 200 mCi Source S/N: B597 Complaint ID: 72888
