| Event Description | The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania via email/fax:
Event Description: The licensee reported that on October 6, 2017, while performing a lockout procedure for a major outage, the workers noted that two shutters were stuck in the open position. The shutters were both on Berthold Model LB7410 gauges and contained 300 milliCuries of americium-241 each. Both gauges are located in a pit area within major piping lines and a locked gate.

ACTIONS: The Department [PA Bureau of Radiation Protection] will perform a reactive inspection. More information will be provided upon receipt. Event Report ID No: PA170015 |
