| Title | Agreement State Report - Gauge Shutter Stuck Open |
| Event Description | At about 0900 CST, Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality [OK DEQ] received a report from Martin Marietta Materials Bell-Savoy Plant, located in Kemp, Oklahoma. They reported that a factory technician had discovered on February 27, 2018 that the shutter was stuck open on an Ohmart SH-F1 Gauge, serial number 7117GK. The device reportedly contains a 100 milliCurie (as manufactured, the device is believed to be over ten years old) Cesium source, but no source model number or serial number is known at this time. The company has closed off the area irradiated by the exposed source until the shutter can be repaired. No overexposures to humans are known or suspected. The company recently purchased the plant from another owner, and should have a GLD registration with the state, but does not have one. OK DEQ has not been able to locate a registration for the previous owner. This is a preliminary report based on initial information submitted to us, and will be updated when more information becomes available. |
