AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DENSITY GAUGE SHUTTER MALFUNCTION
The following information was received via facsimile:
"On February 13, 2017, the Department [PA DEP Bureau of Radiation Protection] was notified by Universal Well Services that a malfunction of a roll pin on a shutter handle occurred at a temporary job site in Zelienople, Pennsylvania. It is initially reportable per 10 CFR 30.50(b)(2).
"A roll pin, which holds the shutter handle to the shutter shaft, on one of the in-line density gauges became sheared off during an attempt to move the shutter to the open position, rendering the gauge unusable. The shutter is in the closed position and out-of-service awaiting repair from a service provider. No exposures occurred.
"The shutter is in the closed position and the gauge is out-of-service and secure. There was no other damage to the gauge. A reactive inspection is planned by the Department.
"The gauge was a Berthold, Model LB 8010, Serial Number 10055, containing 20 mCi of Cs-137."
