ENS 50008 | 6 February 2014 05:00:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Control of Radioactive Material | The following was received from the State of Louisiana via fax: A general licensed device gauge, containing (decay) corrected 30.47 mCi of Cs-137, serial number B-0187 was improperly disposed of. A recycling company had with a torch burned into the gauge and had come within one (1) mm of the source capsule. The Department of Energy had exercised eminent domain and taken over the oil well next to a strategic reserve for their use during November 2011 from Boardwalk LA Midstream, LLC. The gauge was not leaking and the source capsule was still intact. QSA Global has accepted the gauge for disposal. The Department (Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality) considers this matter closed. Louisiana report # LA-140004 |
