ENS 4895221 April 2013 06:04:00Agreement StateSource Jams as It Is Moved from Drywell to Source HolderThe following information was received via facsimile from the State of Kansas: We (Frontier El Dorado Refining) attempted to move a source from its drywell, into its source holder. The source seems to be stuck in the drywell. There were no reportable personnel exposures. Because of the position of this source, 2 feet inside a large vessel with 5 (inch) steel walls, it is shielded at least as well as inside its holder. The shutter in question is on an Ohmart/VEGA model SHLM-CR3 source holder S/N 19077661, containing 2 Ci of Cs-137 in a model A2102 sealed source S/N 0586CO. The source is located at approximately 100 feet above the ground. Operations and maintenance personnel were notified of the issue. A wipe sample was collect to check for gross leakage. None was indicated. We (Frontier El Dorado Refining) will contact VEGA Americas (formerly Ohmart/VEGA) to arrange for repairs. Item Number: KS130004
