Title	Agreement State Report - Fixed Gauge Shutter Failure
Event Description	The following information was received from the State of Illinois by email: The licensee's radiation safety officer contacted the Agency [Illinois Emergency Management Agency] on September 16, 2016 to advise that while a licensed contractor was conducting calibration of sensors, the shutter failed on an older KayRay fixed gauge. The gauge is mounted on a process line in a remote location that is normally not accessible. Workers were putting the gauge back into service when it appeared that a shear pin broke on the lever that controls the shutter position. The area was cleared of workers and radiation measurements performed. Those measurements showed the shutter was not completely closed. No exposures to workers were noted. Arrangements are being made with a specifically licensed contractor to make repairs to the gauge as soon as can be managed. Fixed gauge is manufactured by KayRay/Sensall; Model 7063P; Serial Number S98L2001; Sealed Source Gauge (.331 Ci of Cs-137). Illinois Event: IL 16006
