Title	Agreement State Report - Shielding Plate Fell Off Kr-85 Measuring Device
Event Description	On September 17, 2008, at 3:20 a.m. the Radiation Safety Officer for Georgia-Pacific called the answering service for radiation incidents after hours. He stated that the screws on a Honeywell Measurex unit, model 4201 had backed out and a shielding plate fell off leaving a 1 Ci Kr-85 source exposed. He stated that the operator had roped off the area around the paper machine to prevent access and exposure. The operator described the time and distance to the source and it was determined that any exposure would have been minimal. Honeywell International, license LA-10814-L01 was contacted for servicing and packaging of the unit. The service tech was to be at the facility September 17, 2008 around 4:00 p.m. because he was traveling from out of state. The facility will follow up with a report and additional information concerning this incident. Louisiana Incident: LA0800019
