AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - GAUGE SHUTTERS FOUND OPEN WITHOUT COMMAND

The following information was provided by the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health via email:

"It was discovered on August 19, 2024, that three (3) fixed gauges had shutters that were open without commands to open from the PLC terminal. The area was unoccupied at the time. The facility radiation safety officer (RSO) did not indicate any physical damage to the devices. The event occurred again on the morning of August 20, 2024. No exposure was noted since the gauges were operating in a normal capacity. The RSO had the shutters closed and took the gauges out of service. The gauges were also locked out to prevent reoccurrence. The gauge manufacturer has been contacted for troubleshooting the occurrence. The available device information is as follows:
"Manufacturer: Mahlo America, Inc.
