| Title | Agreement State Report - Stuck Shutter on Two Nuclear Gauges |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Texas via email:
On April 2, 2014, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of Health] that earlier that morning, while it was doing lockouts on fixed nuclear gauges in preparation for the annual shutdown of its facility, the handles on two shutters broke. The handles sheared their roll pins. The two gauges are mounted on digesters and are used for level control. The licensee was able to close one of the shutters, but the other shutter remains stuck in the open position. There is no exposure risk to any person. The licensee contacted a service company and arrangements have been made for the company to come on-site and make repairs next week. Device #1 Information: Kay Ray, Model 7063, 1.5 curies cesium-137 (original activity in 1972) Device #2 Information: Kay Ray, Model 7063P, 1.0 curie cesium-137 (original activity in 1972) Further information will be provided per SA-300 as it is obtained. Texas Incident #: I-9175 |
