Title	Agreement State Report - Shutter Stuck in Open Position
Event Description	The following was received by e-mail from the state of Louisiana: On 4/8/19, Georgia Pacific Consumer Products (GA-PAC) reported that an additional level density gauge malfunction was discovered during process unit decommissioning. The first gauge was reported on 3/11/19 via a phone call to Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) - see EN 53927. This second gauge was reported via e-mail on 4/8/19 to LDEQ as part of the written follow-up to the first gauge. A level density gauge on a process [unit] had a shutter malfunction. GA-PAC was attempting to inventory and package [the gauge] for disposal. In the lock-out/tag-out process, they discovered the shutter handle would not turn to completely close the shutter. The gauge is a RONAN SA8-C5 device/source holder, S/N 9775GG with a 50 mCi Cs-137 source. GA-PAC called a service contractor, BBP Sales, to evaluate the situation and determine the best course of action to correct the problem. The sources and gauges were packaged by BBP Sales and sent to QSA Global for disposal on 4/2/19. GA-PAC is decommissioning this unit. This is not a radiation exposure hazard and does not pose a health and safety situation for the GA-PAC employees or the general public. This event is considered closed by LDEQ. This event is being reported to the NRC as required by 10 CFR 30.50(b)(2) and LAC 33:XV341.B. LA Event Report ID No.: LA-190005. * * RETRACTION AT 1155 EDT ON 4/10/19 FROM JOSEPH NOBLE TO JEFF HERRERA * * * The following information was reported by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality via email: The reported information was not a new event.
