Title	Agreement State Report - Shutters Found That Were Difficult to Operate on Two Process Gauges
Event Description	The following was received from the State of Louisiana via facsimile: On 4/22/2013, the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for ExxonMobile Chemical was performing his annual inventory and operational checks on the level gauges at the Baton Rouge facility. During the checks, two level gauges were found with shutters that were difficult to operate. The gauges detected were Ronan Engineering Gauges, devices involved, Model Number SAF-F37. One gauge is S/N 0781GK loaded with 100 mCi of Cs-137 and S/N 4585GH loaded with 25 mCi of Cs-137. Ronan Engineering has been contacted to fix the problem or repair the gauge. These gauges are installed on process and pose no safety threat to the general public or the employees. This is not considered a safety equipment failure, just being installed on a process in a very harsh corrosive environment. This is a two shutter malfunction on level gauges installed on processes. These devices do not pose a radiation exposure threat to the general public. They will remain in operation on the process until and after repair. The department considers this event closed.
