EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - FIXED GAUGE STUCK SHUTTER
The following information was provided by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (the Department) via email and phone:
"On 3/4/2022, the Department was notified by the licensee's RSO that while performing six shutter checks on its fixed gauges it discovered that the shutter on a fixed gauge was not functioning properly . The fixed gauge was a Vega America Model SH-2, s/n 8906CM, containing 200 mCi of Cs-137. The licensee has contacted the manufacturer and has scheduled a repair of the shutter. The gauge is located approximately 12 feet off the floor on the side of a vessel and is not readily accessible by employees.
"On 3/5/2022, the Department On-call duty officer met with [licensee] to gain access to the gauge and perform a radiation survey. The radiation on the surface of the gauge measured 16 mR/hr and measured 6 mR/hr at 1 foot. The on-call duty officer verified that the gauge is inaccessible to employees and that radiation exposures to members of the public (non-radiation workers) would be minimal."

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING STATIC ELIMINATORS
The following information was received from the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health:
"During a recent inventory at nine different locations of Service King Collision Repair Centers, 9 devices were found to be missing. The units were scheduled for disposal. Upon a search, all nine units were missing. According to company reports, the units were stolen from nine different locations. The nine units were used as static eliminators. It is believed that the static eliminators were stolen by staff. Updated information will be included in a follow-up report.
"The devices were all NRD model P-2021 containing 10 mCi of Po-210.
"Following are the license numbers and serial numbers of the devices:
GL-1195 (Marysville, TN) / SN A2LU555
GL-1198 (Columbia, TN) / SN A2LV463
GL-1199 (Murfreesboro, TN) / SN A2LV464
GL-1200 (Cool Springs, TN) / SN A2LV465
GL-1201 (Jackson, TN) / SN A2LW322
GL-1202 (Bartlett, TN) / SN A2LW325
GL-1204 (Germantown, TN) / SN A2LW327
GL-1205 (Mt. Moriah, TN) / SN A2LW364
1 unregistered (Nashville, TN) / SN A2L2321
Tennessee Event Report ID No.: TN-22-017
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.
