| Title | Shutter Malfunction |
| Event Description | The following report was received via e-mail from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency):
On April 28, 2022, the licensee notified the Agency that the shutter handle on one of its Ohmart Vega model SH-F2 gauges, containing a 200 milliCurie cesium-137 source, had malfunctioned. A service company was preparing the gauge for removal and had opened and closed the shutter. The shutter closed completely (verified by survey), but they could not lock the shutter handle. A repair kit will be ordered and upon receipt the service company will make the repair and complete the removal. The gauge is in an area of the plant that is no longer operational in a location that is inaccessible without scaffolding. The scaffolding being used at the time of this event will be removed until time for repair. There were no exposures as a result of this event. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300." Texas Incident Number: I-9927 |
