Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Two Nuclear Gauges
Event Description	The following information was received from the State of Texas via email: On April 2, 2014, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of Health] that earlier that morning, while it was doing lockouts on fixed nuclear gauges in preparation for the annual shutdown of its facility, the handles on two shutters broke. The handles sheared their roll pins. The two gauges are mounted on digesters and are used for level control.
