| Title | Agreement State Report - Fixed Gauge Shutter Mechanism Failed to Function as Designed |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia via email:
On May 8, 2017, the licensee notified the Virginia Office of Radiological Health (ORH) that on April 19, 2017, the shutter mechanism of the fixed gauge device (Thermo EGS Gauging Inc. Model TFC-185, Serial Number QC00323; 1250 millicuries of Krypton-85) was not opened all the way to the end as it should function by design. The gauge is used to scan the thickness of plastic sheeting. The licensee has contacted the gauge manufacturer (Thermo EGC Gauging, Inc.) and found that the cause of the problem was due to failure of the Solenoid Rotary Coil found in the device. The licensee's report indicated that Thermo EGS Technician replaced the Solenoid Rotary Coil and fixed the problem. The case is closed. There was no public health and safety concern.
