The RTS consultant performed a survey to separate the radiation source from the remainder of the trash. The consultant transported radioactive trash to Atlantic Nuclear (MA license #56-0477) to perform isotope identification. Atlantic Nuclear' s analysis indicates the radiation source contains about 90 microCuries of Ra-226. A dose rate of 15 millirem/hour was measured at about 1 inch from the object. The consultant separated the single object from the trash bag.

Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
