| Title | Agreement State Report - Level Gauge Shutter Functional Problems |
| Event Description | The following was received from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality via email:
On 06/13/2019, Honeywell (HW) reported that they detected [on 6/12/19] malfunctions/operational difficulties of shutters on [three level density] gauges installed on processes during the annual inspection and operational checks/tests. The gauge shutters would not function as designed by the manufacturer due to the operational environment and need of routine maintenance. HW called a service contractor, RONAN Engineering, to evaluate these situations and determine the best courses of action to correct the problems. The sources and devices will remain installed on the processes until any repairs and maintenance are completed. This is not a radiation exposure hazard and does not pose a health and safety situation for the HW employees or the general public. The level gauges are RONAN Engineering S/N M7549, 50 mCi Cs-137, S/N HH113 50 mCi Cs-137 and M7666 100 mCi Cs-137 sources. This event is being reported to the NRC OP CENTER as required by Regulatory Requirement 10 CFR Part 30.50(b)(2) & LAC 33:XV 340.B. Event Report ID No.: LA-190009
