A scrap metal dealer, Sims Hugo Neu, disco … A scrap metal dealer, Sims Hugo Neu, discovered a radioactive source during metal sorting activities at their facility. The source is identified as a Krypton-85 Ohmart Gauge; S/N 2862 B X; Source Holder ID BAL; SO# NJ 940602681B. The activity of the source was 65 milliCuries on 10/94. The owner of the source is currently unknown. The source was received at the dealer from a "feeder facility" and so the origin of scrap is not easily traced. The scrap dealer notified the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. New Jersey has been in contact with NRC Region 1 (D. White and D. Janda) and is attempting to track the owner via the serial number. The source has been isolated and secured. Sims Hugo Neu is located at 1 Linden Avenue, Jersey City, NJ. New Jersey is reporting this for information only. </br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury.
