| Event Description | EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - GAUGE SHUTTER MALFUNCTIONED
The following information was obtained from the state of Georgia via email: The shutter on a saltcake density meter was identified as needing attention on the last inventory and Berthold was scheduled to come on the next outage to repair or replace as needed. The outage is scheduled for 7/31/19. Today, [the licensee] identified that a saltcake pump near the gauge needs to be replaced and the gauge is listed on the pump's lockout sheet. When IM [instrument maintenance] attempted to lock out the meter as part of the established lock out, the shutter handle broke meaning the gauge cannot be locked out. (Lock out requires all energy sources affecting the pump to be locked out. The gauge is in the line ahead of the pump and about 6 feet away so does not really affect the pump.) Radiation survey at the pump showed 65 microRem/hr radiation. (500 microRem/hr at gauge surface and 134 microRem/hr at one foot) Maintenance work at the pump will continue with a lock out variance to cite not being able to close the shutter and a proximity radiation work permit used. Berthold is still scheduled to come in 7/31/19 for gauge shutter repair. Source is Cesium-137, 20 mCi, model P-2623-100 in LB7440 holder, serial no. 2104-6-90.
The radioactive material was transferred to Berthold for disposal on 11/25/19. Notified R1DO (Henrion) and NMSS_EVENTS_NOTIFICATION (via e-mail). |
