| Title | Agreement State Report - Source of Unknown Origin Found in Railcar |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via email:
On 8/15/05 a sealed source was discovered on a rail car in Norfolk and Southern rail yard in Dayton, Ohio. Rail car was parked on spur line adjacent to a scrap yard. Source was discovered when rail car was being moved. Dayton HAZMAT unit was called who, in turn, notified the ODH Bureau of Radiation Protection. Bureau staff member responded to site and found source to be made of stainless steel and aluminum, 4" diameter and 18" long. Labeled as a GL device with the following information: Thermo System, Inc. St. Paul, Minn, Kr-85, 10 mCi, June 1974, Model # 8054, SN 31112. Dose rate at contact with the source was 0.8 milliR/hr and 12 microR/hr at 3 feet, as measured with Ludlum model 19 microR survey instrument. Source was stored overnight in locked trailer at rail yard. Source was taken for disposal by a disposal contractor on 8/16/05. Bureau has been unable to date to trace source back to original owner or determine how the source came to be on the rail car. This event involves material that is less than IAEA Category 3 sources. Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. For some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are IAEA Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
