| Title | Agreement State Report - Nuclear Gauge Shutter Could Not Be Operated |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services via email:
On August 11, 2016, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by the licensee that during a routine annual inspection, the shutter on an Ohmart Vega SH-F1 nuclear gauge could not be operated. The gauge contains a 15 millicurie (original activity) source. The shutter's operating handle no longer operates the shutter. It is in the open position which is the normal operating position for the shutter. A service company is on site and will try to repair the gauge. The gauge is mounted on the top of a tall vessel and does not present an exposure hazard to the licensee's workers or members of the general public. This event is similar to EN 52167. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident #: I9425
The following report was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services via email: The licensee reported the activity of the source was 50 milliCuries and not 15 milliCuries as initially reported. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Notified R4DO (Azua) and NMSS Events Resource via email. |
