| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Louisiana Radiation Protection Division via email:
This event is considered an equipment failure with open shutters. The failure occurred while Syngenta Crop Protection was performing their required license condition shutter checks on August 29, 2024. There were two nuclear gauges that failed the shutter operational checks. The two nuclear gauges are in the failed open shutter position. The first gauge is a Texas Nuclear series 5100, model 5189 and serial number 51, with a source activity of 25 mCi [Cs-137] and the second gauge is a RONAN Engineering, model SA1-F37 and serial number 6268CM, with a source activity of 2000 mCi [Cs-137 and Co-60]. Syngenta Crop Protection is planning to bring a third party to work on or replace the nuclear gauges. BBP Sales will be the third party. Syngenta Crop Protection plans on having BBP Sales out to the facility as soon as possible. LA Event Report ID Number: LA20240010 |
