| Title | Ohio Agreement State Report - Abandoned Moisture Density Gauges |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the State of Ohio via email:
On August 11, 2010, the licensee submitted a request to [the State of Ohio to] terminate their portable gauge license. On September 9, 2010, the Ohio Department of Health (ODH) was notified by a third party that Lee Testing had vacated the premises at 3530 Parkway Lane and had left behind a total of seven (7) devices containing radioactive materials. Upon contacting the building owner, it was determined that the licensee had moved out of the building sometime during the prior week, and that the keys to the building and its contents were relinquished to the building owner. On September 13, 2010, representatives from ODH and a licensed service provider visited the 3530 Parkway Lane location and removed the seven devices present at that location. This removal was determined to be necessary as authorized under rule 3701:1-38-06(E) of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The seven devices are currently in a safe and secure storage location pending a decision on final disposition. ODH is conducting an ongoing investigation. The NRC Registry of Radioactive Sealed Sources and Devices indicates that [three Troxler Model] 3411-B gauges contain a Cs-137 source with a maximum activity of 0.33 GBq (9 mCi) and an Am-Be source with a maximum activity of 1.63 GBq (44 mCi). The Registry indicates that [Troxler Model] 3241-C gauge contains an Am-Be source with a maximum activity of 11.1 GBq (300 mCi). The Registry also indicates that the [three Humboldt Scientific Model] 5001 gauges contain a Cs-137 source with a maximum activity of 0.41 GBq (11 mCi) and an Am-Be source with a maximum activity of 1.63 GBq (44 mCi). Ohio Report Number: OH100494
