Title	Agreement State Report - Level Gauge Shutter Malfunction
Event Description	The following was reported by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality via email: On 10/31/2018, Eagle US 2 was performing their semiannual inventory and operational checks of their RAM [radioactive material] licensed devices. During their routine semiannual maintenance checks, the shutter malfunction was discovered. The gauge shutter would not close due to a shutter pin sheer. Eagle US 2 called a service contractor, BBP Sales, [to] perform the semiannual checks. BBP Sales is evaluating the situation to determine the best course of action to correct the problem. [The contractor] was unable to close the shutter and will determine the course of corrective action. It appears the corrective action will be to replace the device. The cause appears to be the conditions of a corrosive environment where the gauge is installed and used. The sources and device with a broken shutter pin and shutter stuck open will remain installed and utilized on the process until the repairs are made. This is not a radiation exposure hazard and does not pose a health and safety situation for the Eagle US 2 employees or the general public. The Gauge is a RONAN SA1-C-10 device/source holder, S/N 5977-GK, loaded with a 5 mCi Cs-137 source. Event Report ID No.: LA-180018
