| Title | Damaged Shutter on Nuclear Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received from the state of Texas (the Agency) via email:
On February 3, 2022, the Agency was contacted by the licensee's service company and notified that while removing a Vega SH-F1B nuclear gauge from its mounted position it was dropped about 2 feet and the operating arm for the shutter was bent. The shutter was locked in the closed position and remained closed. The gauge contains a 20 millicurie (original activity) cesium - 137 source. Dose rates taken on the gauge housing after the gauge was dropped were normal. A leak test was performed on the source and the results were satisfactory. The gauge was placed in storage. The manufacturer is being contacted to repair the gauge. No overexposures occurred due to this event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.
