On March 10, 2022, the department received an email from the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO), reporting a failed shutter on one of their sealed nuclear sources that occurred during their routine, semi-annual gauge inspection. The gauge contained 5 mCi Cs-137. The licensee performed a surface survey with readings in a 1 ft. radius. The readings ranged from 0.01 mR/hr to 0.1 mR/hr. The licensee also performed a leak test with results still pending. The licensee plans to dispose of the faulty gauge. No one was exposed during this incident. Georgia Incident Number: 51 |
