| ENS 55874 | 3 May 2022 15:24:00 | The following information was provided by the licensee via email: Marathon Pipe Line LLC and the Manufacturer, VEGA Americas, Inc., evaluated a (fixed gauge) device (OHMART/Vega Corporation Model SR-1A, S/N M5965. Cs-137 80 mCi ) on 05/02/22 to verify the operation of the shutter mechanism. During the evaluation of the device the VEGA FS Technician confirmed that the shutter mechanism would not close. The cause is internal mechanism failure of the shutter device. The shutter is in the Open position and won't close. The Open position is the normal operating position. There was and is no radiation exposure concern for Marathon Pipe Line LLC employees, contractors, visitors or the general public. Vega Americas, Inc. has been contacted for a path forward to order and install a replacement device as well as develop a plan and assist in the safe removal, isolation and disposal of this gauge. |
