Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Fixed Nuclear Gauge
Event Description	The following was excerpted from information received from the Texas Department of State Health Services by email: On November 17, 2016, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that on November 16, 2016 at approximately 1400 CST, during its semi-annual fixed nuclear gauge inspection [at Chocolate Bayou Works], it had discovered that the shutter mechanism on an Ohmart Model SHLM-BR-2, which contains a 1,000 millicurie cesium-137 source (SN: 2807CG), had become inoperable. The licensee's radiation safety officer reported the source could be moved up/down inside the source tube, but it could not be retracted into the housing. He suspects there is an issue with the positioning of the pin that holds the 2-piece source rod together. Repairs are scheduled to be completed during an operations shut-down in January/February 2017. The source is in its normal operating position and there is no risk of exposure to any individual due to its location. Texas Incident #: I-9441
