| Title | Vehicle Transporting Soil Density Gauge Involved in Accident |
| Event Description | An employee for Mid-Atlantic LLC transporting a soil density gauge was involved in an accident at 1600 EST on Route 30 near Columbia, PA. The gauge is a CPN-MC1 with approximately 50mCuries Am-241/Be and 10mCuries Cs-137. The gauge was thrown from the vehicle during the accident. Local emergency response and hazmat team cordoned off the area and determined that there were no significant radiation levels. The RSO responded to the scene and noted that the gauge was still in its shipping container. The container had only minimal damage. When the container was opened, the gauge itself appeared to be undamaged. The RSO performed surveys and swipes confirming that there was no likely damage. The RSO has taken possession of the gauge and returned to the company offices. He plans on conducting a leak and functionality test to confirm the gauge was not impacted by the accident. |
