The sealed source tritium lamp broke when a wrench hit the tritium module. Surveys were conducted, but the results will not be available until next week. Bioassays are being perform on 4 individuals and based on historic records, the RSO expects minimal intake of less than 5 mrem. The device was bagged, tagged and placed in a secure storage area for future disposal. The licensee attempted to notify R3 (McCraw). * * RETRACTION FROM THOMAS GIZICKI TO VINCE KLCO ON 4/24/13 AT 1004 EDT * * * The US ARMY is retracting this event due to a miniscule bio-assay indicated dose rate to the four workers (maximum dose of 0.9 mRem to an individual) and survey results of the maintenance shop indicating no contamination.
