| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of California via email:
A CPN MC1DR soil moisture density gauge was run over by a piece of earth moving equipment at a jobsite in Bel Aire, CA on 1-18-2011. This gauge contained 10 mCi Cs-137 and 50 mCi Am-241 sealed sources. The source rod was retracted at the time. The work was immediately stopped, people were kept away, and the area was secured until a CDPH [California Department of Public Health] representative arrived. The sources were leak tested and analyzed on 1-19-2011. The leak test results were negative - less than 0.0005uCi of removable contamination. GeoSoils Consultants, Inc. is arranging for proper disposal. CA Notification # 011811 |
