ENS 4440711 August 2008 13:00:00Agreement StateUtah Agreement State Report - Fixed Gauge Broken ShutterThe Utah Division of Radiation Control was notified by service personnel on 08/11/2008 at approximately 10:00 a.m. MDST and spoke with the licensee regarding the incident at 5:00 p.m. MDST. The RSO was attempting to close the shutter of a fixed gauge on the 'Syn Tower' so that maintenance personnel could work inside the vessel. (Ohmart, model SH-F1, serial number LS-620). The device shutter resisted turning when the RSO attempted to close the gauge. The RSO then 'tapped lightly' on the shutter handle with a bolt to get it to turn. It turned slightly and the RSO put the bolt down to turn the shutter handle by hand. Both of the shutter handle screws sheared off and the shutter could not be closed. An authorized service licensee was able to close the shutter while the gauge was in place. The gauge was then removed and taken offsite for repair by an individual licensed to perform these services. The RSO has completed the manufacturer's 40 hour training course.
