The following was received from the State of Texas via email:
"On February 28, 2014, the Agency [State of Texas] received a reciprocity request from a company from the State of Tennessee to perform emergency repairs on a Berthold model LB 8010 nuclear gauge containing a 20 milliCurie cesium-137 source at a generally licensed facility in Texas. The Agency [State of Texas] contacted the Texas licensee and asked if there had been a shutter problem with the gauge. The licensee stated on February 24, 2014, while they were moving the gauge from one location to another, one of their employees noted the operating arm on the shutter appeared bent. The employee attempted to straighten the operating arm and it broke off the gauge. The gauge was placed in the licensee's storage location. The licensee contacted the manufacturer who repaired the gauge shutter on February 25, 2014. The licensee stated no personnel received any significant exposure from the event. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300."
