| Title | Agreement State Report - Broken Density Gauge Shutter |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of emails received from the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (the state):
On 05/02/2019, the licensee discovered a broken shutter on an Ohmart DSGX GEN2000 fixed density gauge during semi-annual leak testing. The gauge is roughly 15 to 20 feet in the air and contained a 20 mCi Cs-137 source (A-2102 source/SN 61798). The source was barricaded and warnings posted. The source was determined not to be leaking. At the time a reactive inspection was performed. On 08/01/2019, an update was sent to the state. An offsite authorized technician attempted to repair the shutter but was unsuccessful. The radiation source remained in service and barricaded and the RSO continued to actively monitor the source with no leakage detected. The licensee was obtaining a quote for removal/proper disposal and the purchase of a new radiation source for replacement, but the source continues to be operational with no additional risk to workers. The incident was closed on 08/01/2019. Incident Report No.: GA-2019-15
Gauge was replaced and sent to QSA Global for disposal. Source was received at QSA Global on 01/13/2020 and verified to not be leaking. Notified R1DO (Ferdas) and NMSS Event Notification (email). |
