Title	Found Gauge
Event Description	The following summary was received via e-mail from the Oklahoma Department of Radiation Management [the department]: On October 18, 2021 at 13:00 CDT, the licensee contacted the department to inform them that they had discovered a density gauge Model RLL 1, Sn 209689a, Cs-137 source, 0.9 millicuries as manufactured, in an incoming load of scrap. The date of manufacture was June 2008 and does not appear to be designed to have a shutter. Contact, no shutter, open side readings were 33 mR/hour while closed side readings at 3 feet were less than 1 mR/hour. The gauge had gotten past gate monitors but triggered an alarm on the conveyer belt. The licensee contacted the vendor who told them that the gauge was sold as a general license in Texas to be used for level detection on a dredge. The gauge is currently being held in a drum onsite under lock and key.
