Title	Agreement State Report - Ohmart Shlm-Cr3 Cable Detached from Source
Event Description	The following report from the Texas Department of State Health Services was provided via email: On March 19, 2015, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that on March 4, 2015, while preparing for a shutdown for maintenance, it retracted a cesium-137 source back into its Ohmart SHLM-CR3 source holder when the cable came off of the source. The gauge contains a 2,400 milliCurie (original activity 04/1991) cesium-137 source. The licensee performed a survey to confirm the source was in the fully shielded position and placed a lock on the shutter. No individual received any exposure as a result of this event. The licensee is coordinating with the manufacturer to have the gauge repaired. An investigation into this event is ongoing. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300.
