| Title | Agreement State Report - Process Gauge Shutter Handle Broke |
| Event Description | On the afternoon of 3/17/09, while closing the shutter of a Ohmart/Vega SH-F1 level detection gauge, the handle separated from the shutter closure device. The gauge contains a 10 milliCurie Cesium (Cs) - 137 source serial # 5747 GK. The license can not confirm the exact position of the shutter, but they are sure that it is not closed yet. Lubricants have been used on the shutter mechanism to aid in its operation. The licensee will continue their attempts to close the shutter on 3/18/09. If unable to close, they will request assistance from the manufacturer. Additional information will be provided as it is received.
Texas Event: I-8620
The Radiation Safety Officer notified the [State of Texas] that the gauge had not been fully closed yet, but area dose rates were normal therefore the gauge does not create additional risk of exposure to their workers. Notified R4DO (Hay) and FSME EO (Camper).
The licensee reported [to the State of Texas] that on April 28, 2009, a technician from the manufacturer installed a shield over the source and removed the gauge from the vessel. The gauge has been placed in a radioactive material storage area until it can be packaged and returned to the manufacturer. Notified R4DO (Pick) and FSME EO (McIntosh). |
