| Title | Broken Shutter |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Texas Department of State Health Services (the Agency) via email:
On August 24, 2022 the Agency received a report of an equipment failure from a general license acknowledgement (GLA) licensee. A lead plate on the shutter was found to no longer be attached to the shutter. An initial possible cause is that vibrations allowed the lead to go through the screws and become detached. The shutter was removed from service and placed into storage. A lead blanket is covering the gauge and a survey found no elevated readings. The device is approximately 8.5 years old and contains a 200 milli-Curie Cs-137 source. Nobody was believed to have received a significant dose from this issue. The licensee is taking pictures and will try to better determine the cause. The device will be repaired by a service company on August 26, 2022. An investigation is ongoing and further information will be provided per SA-300. Texas Reference Number: 9951 |
