Title	Agreement State Report - Stuck Fixed Gauge Shutter
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of information received via E-mail and phone: On July 15, 2020, at 1445 CDT, the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for Syngenta Crop Protection, LLC contacted the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality / Emergency and Radiological Services Division / Radiation Section to report that shutters had failed to close on two fixed density gauges during routine maintenance. The shutters are stuck in the open position and do not affect operation. The gauges are Ronan Engineering Model SAI, s/n's 5832GK and 5835GK, each with a 50 mCi Cs-137 sealed source, at the time of installation. The licensee contacted the contractor, BBP Sales, LLC, to determine whether the gauges should be disposed of or repaired. The decision will be made on July 16, 2020 on how to deal with the stuck shutters. Repair or disposal of the gauges should be accomplished by July 20, 2020. Louisiana Event Report ID No.: LA20200005
