| Title | Agreement State Report - Level Gauge Stuck Shutter |
| Event Description | The following information was received via E-mail:
On August 9, 2018, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] received a notice from the radiation safety officer that a line level gauge was stuck in the open normal operating position. The gauge was found to be stuck during a blow-down operation yesterday afternoon. The gauge is a Ronan SA1-F37 with a Cesium-137 100 milliCurie source (serial number M5513). The gauge is to be serviced by the manufacturer's technician next week. The RSO was contacting the licensing section to request an amendment to the permit to operate the gauge in the stuck open position. The gauge is fixed at least 20 feet above ground level on a vessel and should not cause any effects to personnel. No exposures were reported upon discovery and the gauge does not present an exposure risk to any individual. The RSO will report the repair or disposal once the gauge is serviced/inspected. The investigation into this event is on-going. Updates to be provided in accordance with SA300. Texas Incident #: I-9605 |
