The gauge is installed on the 33 Coater at the Frame 4 position at the 3M Co. manufacturing plant, 3211 East Chestnut Expressway, Springfield, MO 65802.</br>The gauge had been shut down last week when operators noted incorrect thickness readings. The gauge shutter was closed at that time. This morning, Oct. 4, 2010, at about 9:30 AM (CDT) maintenance personnel inspected the gauge. At that time they determined that the gauge heads were misaligned. The facility Radiation Safety Officer was contacted. It was further determined that the gauge shutter could be opened with the gauge heads in misaligned position. As the detector head serves as the beam stop with the shutter open this could result in personnel exposure.</br>The RSO determined that no personnel were in the immediate vicinity of the gauge at the time when the incorrect readings were obtained and the shutter closed. Therefore there were no personnel exposures that resulted.were no personnel exposures that resulted. +
