Title	Kentucky Agreement State Report on Loss of Radioactive Material Found at Scrap Yard
Event Description	On 1/16/04, the radiation detectors alarmed at the North American Stainless scrap yard, located in Ghent, Kentucky, when a truck entered the scrap yard. The scrap yard radiation detectors indicated 42 microrem per hour. The truck was not accepted and sent back to its origin. The scrap material in the truck came from Industrial Services of America. Investigation determined that a piece of a fixed gauge caused the radiation alarms to set off. Apparently, the gauge went through a shredder. On-contact radiation readings were 35 millirem/hour with the shutter closed and 58 millirem/hour with the shutter open. This was considered a loss of radioactive material and further review will be performed to try to determine the owner of the gauge.
