On August 8, 2023, the Agency was notified by the licensee's service provider that the shutter on a Vega America SH-F2 nuclear gauge would not close. Open is the normal position for the gauge. The gauge contains a sixty millicurie (original activity) Cs-137 source. The source is mounted in an elevated location that prevents exposures to any personnel. The service provider stated the licensee had just completed maintenance in the vessel where the gauge was mounted and was opening the shutter when they began to feel resistance to movement. The licensee continued to open the shutter and as they reached the open position the screws holding the operating arm in place broke. The operating arm no longer operates the shutter. The licensee will contact a service provider to repair the gauge. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. | On August 8, 2023, the Agency was notified by the licensee's service provider that the shutter on a Vega America SH-F2 nuclear gauge would not close.
