Title	Agreement State Report - Gauge Failure
Event Description	The following report was received via email from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: During an inspection on February 20, 2020, an above normal reading on a Cesium-137 level gauge source head was discovered. Radiation measurements ranged from approximately 15 to 45 millirem per hour at one foot from the back of the source holder cap. It should be noted this gauge is located 11.5 feet off the ground, in an area with no stationed personnel or foot traffic. The device is a Kayray Model 7062B level gauge (Serial No. 21462) containing 25 milliCuries of Cs-137. The licensee immediately removed the device from service, the area was secured to ensure background radiation levels, and the manufacturer was contacted to initiate either a repair or replacement of the gauge. The area will remain secured until the device is able to be put into service again. PA incident number: PA200005
