| Title | Agreement State Report - Loss of X-Ray Fluorescence Survey Device |
| Event Description | After completing an x-ray fluorescence (XRF) survey for a client, the licensee placed the XRF device on the roof of his vehicle. The licensee left the work area and upon entering the main flow of traffic he pulled over and realized that the device was no longer on top of the roof of his vehicle. He conducted a search along the path he had traveled. The Montgomery County Fire and Rescue responded and proceeded to search the previously identified stretches of roadway and did not find the device. This incident was also reported to the Montgomery County Police Department. The Maryland Department of the Environment is investigating this incident.
The lost instrument is an LPA-1 XRF (S/N 1189) device, gray in color, manufactured by Radioactive Monitoring Devices (RM3) of Watertown, MA. The radioactive source is a Cobalt-57 isotope with an activity of (12) twelve millicuries. |
