AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DENSITY GAUGE SHUTTER FAILED IN OPEN POSITION
The following information was received via E-mail:
"The shutter on a SVP generator [chlorine dioxide] ClO2 density meter failed in the open position. This failure was identified and verified on Saturday, 7/13/19. Berthold inspected the gauge while they were on site on 7/19/19 and are scheduled to come in on the next C mill outage to replace the shield. Outage is tentatively scheduled for 10/9/19. The gauge shutter normally operates in the open position so the failure poses no safety risk during normal operations.
"The SVP generator density meter is Rayonier instrument loop no. 507-081. The source is Cesium-137, 500 mCi, model 2623-100, serial no. ED350A in a LB7440 housing."

The following information was received via E-mail:
In the course of planning for Berthold to come on site to repair the SVP generator density meter shutter, it was discovered that our records on the source were in error. The source is model 2623 Cesium-137, 10 mCi, serial no. EA350A NOT 500 mCi, serial no. ED350.
