| Title | Agreement State Report - Failed Gauge Shutter |
| Event Description | The following information was received via email from the State of North Carolina:
NC RMB (North Carolina Radioactive Materials Branch) was notified by an authorized service provider, Systems Service Corporation (License Number: 090-1071-1), that they had repaired a failed shutter on a fixed nuclear gauge located at International Paper located in Riegelwood, NC on 8/9/18. The shutter detent spring was corroded and dissolved due to its corrosive environment. The service provider removed the gauge and rebuilt it on site with another source housing. No known overexposures occurred during this event and it is unknown at this time whether the shutter was in an open or closed position. However, this investigation is still ongoing at the time of this report. No other generic implications at this time. No other notifications made. Source & Device Information: TBD. This report will be updated once RMB completes its investigation. North Carolina Report Number: 180034 |
