Title	Agreement State Report Involving a Texas Nuclear Gauge Found in a Shipment of Scrap Steel
Event Description	Cascade Steel located in McMinnville, OR received a rail shipment of scrap steel which triggered a portal alarm. During the investigation, a Texas Nuclear Gauge Model 5193, S/N B1207, containing 500 mCuries Cs-137, dated October 1978, was recovered. Thermomeasure Electronics, formerly Texas Nuclear, was contacted and confirmed that the last owner on record was Astaris of Pocatello, ID which may be out-of-business. Thermomeasure Electronics collected and disposed of sources at this location in 2002. Thermomeasure Electronic records identify the source S/N is MA5033 and that a total of eight (8) devices and one (1) gauge associated with Astaris are unaccounted for. The State of Oregon is enroute to the Cascade Steel facility to recover the source.
