| Title | Agreement State Report - Stuck Source in Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following report was received via email from the Virginia Office of Radiological Health:
On January 4, 2018, the Radiation Safety Officer of the licensee reported that the metal (insertion) rod that enables the source holder to move to its 'ON' position (moves the source in and out of the vessel) broke during routine periodic maintenance. The gauge is a Texas Nuclear Model 50315, serial number B0047, with a 100 milliCurie Cesium-137 source (effective 1993). The gauge is used to measure the density of material inside a process vessel. The gauge is currently in its normal operative state, which is to send a signal to the detector to control density in the vessel. The source was pushed back into the vessel to allow for normal operation after the rod broke, but it is not able to be removed. The licensee has contacted ThermoFisher Scientific for further actions.
