| Title | Damaged Gauge Handle |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environment (the Department) via email:
On July 20, 2023, at 1507 EDT, the Department was notified by the licensee that while performing semi-annual shutter checks the licensee discovered that the handle on a Berthold LB7440D had broken off which prevented the shutter from being locked. The licensee cordoned off the area and was able to rotate the shutter to the closed and shielded position. The gauge is a Berthold Model LB7440D s/n FT314 and contains a 30 mCi Cesium-137 source. On July 21, 2023, BRH [Bureau of Radiological Health] on-call duty officer met licensee's RSO at 0800, to perform a visual inspection and radiation survey of the gauge. The highest radiation measured was 0.2 mR/hr. The licensee has contacted a licensed vendor to schedule the repair of the handle.
The following information was provided by the Department via email: On July 28, 2023, the licensed vendor was on site to repair the damaged shutter handle. The handle and shutter were replaced, and the gauge was placed back into service. This incident is considered closed. Notified R1DO (Gray) and NMSS Events Notification email group. |
