Title	Agreement State Report - Process Gauge Shutter Fails to Close
Event Description	The following report was received via e-mail: On 10/28/2016, GA-PAC [Georgia Pacific] was shutting down this process to perform routine annual maintenance. In the process of securing the radiation sources from becoming a radiation exposure hazard, it was discovered that the gauge shutter would not close. GA-PAC called a service contractor, BBP Sales, to evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action to correct the problem. [BBP Sales] was unable to close the shutter and determined the source holder would have to be replaced. Further evaluation determined one of the pins holding the shutter had sheared off and would have to be replaced, not repaired. The sources and device with shutter failure will remain installed until the replacement source and device are received. The failed device will be sent for disposal when replaced. This is not a radiation exposure hazard and does not pose a health and safety situation for the GA-PAC employees or the general public. The gauge is a RONAN C-10 device/source holder, S/N 9830GG, loaded with a 2,000 mCi Cs-137 source. The manufacturing date was 1994. This event is considered to be closed by LDEQ. This event is being reported to the NRC as required by Regulatory Requirement 10 CFR Part 30.50(b)(2). Louisiana Event: LA-160016
