Title	Agreement State Report - Radiation Exposure to Non-Occupational Worker
Event Description	Rayonier Performance Fibers is a pulp mill that utilizes a Berthold Model 2653.100-001 density gauge with a 24 millicuries Cesium-137 for measures paper density and thickness on its process line. The company employed a contract welder to perform some structural welding in the vicinity of the gauge. Another company employee noted that the welder was in a radiation restricted area and had him leave the area immediately. The RSO was notified who then informed the State of Georgia. Based on preliminary information, it appears that even though the process had been shutdown, the gauge shutter was still open for reasons unknown. The licensee's initial estimate of the welder's exposure based on his time and location is 36 millirem whole body. The State of Georgia's investigation is in progress.
