| Title | Agreement State - Stuck Shutter |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via phone and email:
The radiation safety officer (RSO) for INspec Ethylene Oxide and Specialities (INEOS), IL-01337-01, contacted the Agency on 2/28/24, to advise that a fixed gauge was found to have a shutter stuck in the `open position. The impacted gauge is a Ronan Engineering model X90-SA1-F37, serial number M7388 containing 40 mCi of Cs-137. The device shutter is normally in the `open position and was only found to be `stuck during the routine six-month shutter checks. It had likely been in this condition for at least six months. The product vessel that it faces is full of commodity and will remain full for the foreseeable future. Aside from being full of commodity, the vessel is also equipped with locking mechanisms preventing any personnel access. Agency staff will be on site in the coming weeks. NMED Item Number: IL240006
Agency inspector was on site 3/20/24 while Ronan was there to repair the gauge. The gauge was successfully repaired. This matter is now closed. Notified R3DO(Betancourt-Roldan) and NMSS Events via email. |
