This device is an Ohmart/Vega containing sealed source of 400 mCi cesium-137, serial number 65574, Model SHF2-45 K2 Chip Bin. The radiation safety officer (RSO) reported that the shutter had failed in the open position. The source was then barricaded from the area with appropriate signage. On August 21, 2023, a qualified technician from VEGA visited the site and repaired this shutter. The technician removed the old rotor and installed a new rotor on the source holder."
