AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STUCK SHUTTERS
The following was received from the Commonwealth of Kentucky via fax:
"On 6/28/18 while conducting a 6-month physical inventory and shutter check (on-off mechanism) the licensee, ARKEMA, Inc., discovered the shutters malfunctioned on two separate fixed gauging devices, namely:
"1) TN Technologies fixed gauging device model 5208 Serial No. MB 4251 containing 8 Ci Cs-137. The licensee has attempted to contact Thermo Scientific to repair the shutter. The root cause of the failure of the on/off mechanism was due to corrosion and dust due to the gauging device's environment. This licensee produces industrial chemicals and the gauging device is operated in a corrosive environment. This event was reported to the [Kentucky Radiation Health Branch] KY RHB as required by regulation on 6/29/18.
"2) Ronan Engineering fixed gauging device model SA-1 Serial Number M8107, containing 5 Ci Cs-137. The licensee has contacted Ronan Engineering and repairs will be conducted during the week starting on 7/16/18. This licensee produces industrial chemicals and the gauging device is operated in a corrosive environment. The event was reported to KY RHB as required by regulation on 6/29/18.
"No accidental overexposures have been reported due to the malfunction."

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST TRITIUM EXIT SIGNS
The following report was received from the Colorado Department of Pubic Heath and Environment via email:
"Keystone Resort-Property Management reported one tritium exit sign was unable to be located during the annual reconciliation."
CO Event Report ID No.: CO180025
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
