During a routine semiannual periodic inspection, a process gauge with a 15 milliCurie Cs-137 source was identified to have a stuck shutter. The gauge was an Ohmart Model SHF1-A45, S/N 09236K. The instrument is permanently installed on a distillation column about 30 - 35 ft. from the ground. The integrity of the gauge is fine.
