The licensee was a portable gauge licensee authorized by the State of Illinois to use Troxler 3430 Plus and Troxler 3440 gauges containing Cesium-137 and Amercium-241 at temporary job sites (TJS) within Illinois jurisdiction. The licensee conducted these activities at a TJS in NRC jurisdiction under the terms of a general license issued by a reciprocity request filed in April 2023. The scope of this inspection was limited to an evaluation of the licensees activities at a TJS in Merrillville, Indiana.
The licensee had one Troxler 3430 Plus on-site. The inspectors toured the job site and interviewed the licensees staff. The licensees staff was knowledgeable of radiation protection principles as well as their operating and emergency procedures. The inspector observed the staff perform testing and secure the gauge. The inspectors discussed response to abnormal conditions with the licensee. The inspectors reviewed sealed source leak tests, shipping papers, and training.
Independent surveys were performed using a RadEye G (SN: 30653; calibration due: 5/9/2024). Results were consistent with the licensees survey records and postings.
No violations were identified as a result of this inspection.
