| ENS 54275 | 12 September 2019 15:30:00 | 10 CFR 30.50(b)(2) | Damaged Density Gauge | The following is a synopsis of information received via phone: On September 12, 2019, at approximately 1130 EDT, a Humboldt gauge (Model 5001C; S/N 3267), containing 10 mCi of Cs-137 and a 40 mCi Am-241/Be source, was damaged during a field inspection. The inspector notified the radiation safety officer (RSO) and informed him that the source was retracted at the time and the source was not damaged. The RSO instructed the inspector to place the device in the carrying case and return it to him at the office. No survey of the device was performed prior to removal from the job site. Once the device was at the office, the RSO performed a swipe test and will be sending it to Humboldt. The RSO was also going to notify the device manufacturer of the damaged gauge. No exposure is expected but personnel dosimetry badge was sent for processing. |
