Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Process Gauge Shutter
Event Description	The following information was received via e-mail: On Sunday, June 8th, 2014, the Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section received notice from the mill [NewPage Wisconsin Systems] Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for the Wisconsin Rapids facility that the licensee had a gauge with a stuck shutter. The stuck shutter was discovered on Saturday, June 7th at 5:00 pm [CDT]. The device is an Ohmart model A-2102 (serial number M-3212) fixed gauge originally containing 100 mCi of Cs-137. The facility is currently shut down for maintenance. VEGA Americas, Inc. has been called for immediate repairs. The mill RSO stated that the gauge was in the normal operating position and did not pose a radiation safety hazard. The gauge has been roped off from personnel. Personnel are not allowed inside the chip chute since it is in the path of the radiation beam between the broken source and its detector. The Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section will continue to monitor the situation. Wisconsin Event: WI140006
