On August 19, 2019, an Environmental Engineer for Nucor Steel of Tuscaloosa, Alabama notified the Office of Radiation Control [Agency] that a gauge stored in a caster mechanism had a loss of containment and damaged the locking mechanism of the gauge. The shutter mechanism is working, but the gauge cannot be locked out. The licensee notified the Alabama Emergency Operations Center of the event on August 18, 2019, at 1757 CDT. The licensee chose to follow-up with the Agency to ensure proper notification. The Agency told the licensee to send a synopsis of the events and a plan of action to maintain or dispose of the gauge.

This incident remains open until a decision is made by the licensee for repair or disposal. Alabama Incident: 19-20 |
