| Event Description | EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - FIXED GAUGE STUCK SHUTTER
The following report was received from the state of Texas via e-mail: On March 21, 2019, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that during routine shutter checks on March 20, 2019, it had discovered that the shutter on one of the Ronan Model SA-1 gauges (SN: M-3824) was stuck in the open position. Open is the normal operating position for this gauge. The gauge contains a cesium-137 source with a calculated current activity of 10 milliCuries. Due to the location of the gauge, there is no increased risk of exposure. The licensee plans to replace the gauge. Texas Incident #9667
The following update was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services via email: Licensee contacted the Agency on October 9, 2019, to report that the vendor was successfully able to close the stuck shutter and the old source is being packaged and prepared for disposal. The gauge was replaced with a Vega SHLD-1. File is closed. Notified the R4DO (Kellar) and NMSS Events (via email). |
