| Title | |
| Event Description | The RSO from a Daimler - Chrysler foundry reported that excessive heat inside the foundry had caused the lead shielding to partially melt. The device was a GN Technologies (now Thermo Electron Corp) model 5201 with source serial # GV8072 gauge serial # B3021. The gauge, which was on a foundry cuppola out of the area of any foot traffic, contained 100 millicuries of Cs-137. The radiation level on the top of the gauge measured 250 mr/hr at 1 ft from the source. The area near the gauge was roped off to isolate it from the public. They will shut the gauge off and the manufacturer's rep will remove it. |
