AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - BROKEN SHUTTER MECHANISM ON FIXED GAUGE The following was received from Iowa Department of Public Health via email: The licensee reported today that during a routine shutter check it was discovered that a shutter on a fixed gauging device had come off of its hinge. The device is located on coal silo 106 outlet at the 163 foot elevation. Due to the location of the device, no personnel can be exposed to the beam. The licensee has contacted a vendor to repair the shutter. This event will be updated once the Agency (Iowa Department of Public Health) receives the written report. The gauge was a Kay-Ray Sensall model 7700-C containing 50 milliCuries of Cs-137.
The following information was received from the State of Iowa Department of Public Health via email: The outside vendor arrived on-site September 16, 2020 and found that the right end mounting bracket for the shaft was bent and the shaft was no longer in the mounting bracket.
