| Title | Agreement State Report - Process Meter Source Subjected to Intense Fire at Well Site |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the State of Utah via facsimile:
The Utah Division of Radiation Control was notified at 3:40 p.m. MST on January 22, 2013 of a fire at a natural gas well. Notification was provided by the licensee's Radiation Safety Officer. This incident report is the initial notification to the NRC Operations Center. On January 22, 2013, a representative of Halliburton Energy Services, Inc. radiation safety called the Division to report a fire involving a natural gas well. The fire erupted about 6:00 a.m. that morning. The licensee was using a truck with a slurry densimeter (Sealed Source Device Registry Number NR-340-D-101-G) in-line after a chicksan on a down-hole pump. The truck was parked approximately 40 feet from the blowout preventer (well head). An 8.8 milliCurie cesium-137 sealed source (Gammatron GT-GHP) is contained within the slurry densimeter. As of Thursday afternoon, January 24, 2013, the fire continued to occasionally flare, but a Halliburton representative was able to gain brief access to the slurry densimeter. He reported to a Department of Environmental Quality representative (on-scene presence) that the sealed source is not leaking and the device containment housing was still intact. Fire control operations continue and efforts to drag the licensee's truck away from the drill rig may occur on Friday, January 25, 2013. Utah Report No: UT130002 |
