| ENS 51209 | 8 July 2015 05:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State - Two Gauge Sources Could Not Be Fully Retracted | The following report was received from the State of Texas via e-mail: On July 8, 2015 the Agency (Texas Department of State Health) was notified by the licensee's radiation safety officer that while performing routine test of gauge shutters, they found two gauges where the source could not be fully retracted. Both gauges are Ohmart Vega model SHLMBR-4 gauges containing a 5,000 millicurie cesium-137 source. The gauges are mounted on the side of poly resin tanks. The sources were left in the normal operating, unshielded position. The sources do not pose any additional risk of exposure to the workers or members of the general public. The RSO stated they have not decided how they were going to resolve the problem yet, but will notify the Agency (Texas Department of State Health) once a decision has been made. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. Texas Incident # I-9325 | ||
