| Event Text STUCK SHUTTER ON A DENSITY GAUGE
The licensee Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) determined that the shutter to a Berthold Model LB7442 gauge with a 1 Ci Cs-137 source (serial number: 012\06) did not shut during biannual maintenance checks. Personnel is informed about the gauge with proper signage, and the RSO does not believe any exposure to personnel occurred, because the shutter is normally in the open position. A licensed Berthold technician has been contacted and will come to the site to repair the gauge.
The licensee notified NRC Region 3 (Nieves). |
