The State provided the following informati … The State provided the following information via facsimile:</br>While performing NORM (naturally occurring radioactive material) remediation at an old Texaco site at the end of Hwy 23 in Venice, LA, a radioactive source was uncovered. Production Management Industries (PMI) was dipping out mud out of a canal when, the scoop of mud had a high reading. The scoop was set aside in a restricted area. It was thought to be NORM pipe until the survey meter used on NORM material pegged. They also noticed that the piece of metal giving off radiation was about two inches long. Then it was believed to be a sealed source. Mr. (Redacted) was called about the situation. Mr. (Redacted) told them to set it aside until he got there. Once Mr. (Redacted) was on site they took a survey of the source with a different survey meter. The reading at contact was 30 mR/hr. It was 100 microR/hr at 3 feet and 20 microR/hr at 10 feet. Mr. (Redacted) performed a wipe test on the source and it did not appear to be leaking. Mr. (Redacted) then put the source in a 5 gallon drum and put dry cement around the source. The reading at the drum after this was 1.9 mR/hr. He then put the drum in the generator room where it could be locked up and secure. American Radiation Services is going to pick up the source from Venice on July 17 for disposal. All the employees that were around the source are radiation workers and were wearing personnel monitoring. No excessive exposures are expected. No one picked up the source by hand.</br>Louisiana Report Number LA0600014by hand.
