| Title | Agreement State Report - Shutter Stuck Open |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of Georgia via email:
On Tuesday, April 26, 2016 our department [Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Radioactive Materials Program] received a report from GA Pacific, Cedar Springs, Georgia, that the shutters were stuck in the open position on a Kay Ray fixed gauge with 2000 mCi of Cs-137 and a Berthold fixed gauge with 30 mCi of Cs-137. Georgia Pacific maintenance personnel were doing a 6 month service check and realized that the shutters would not close. The incident occurred on 4/21/16. On 4/22/16, [the licensee RSO] received the report and was trying to determine reporting requirements. On 4/25/16, [the RSO determined] that they needed to do a notification report but our office was closed. Our department was notified on 4/26/16. Tag devices are being used but work cannot be performed around the area near the tank/pipeline. Berthold has been contacted but Kay Ray is out of business. A complaint has been opened in CTS [Complaint Tracking System] and our office has an ongoing investigation. |
