The following is a summary of information … The following is a summary of information provided by the Washington State Department of Health (DOH) via email:</br>A portable gauge (PG) was ran over by a roller around 0930 PDT. The main body was crushed and the gauge source rod broke off but appeared to be intact. </br>The PG user used a shovel to pick up the source and placed it in the transport box. The PG user stayed with the PG until the radiation safety officer (RSO) arrived. The RSO confirmed (an) intact source rod and gathered the remaining damaged PG parts into the transport box. It was then transported to the licensee storage location. </br>The RSO and local fire department did not have a survey meter for radiation and contamination surveys. </br>Three DOH representatives were sent for radiation and contamination survey data collection. The highest on-contact radiation level on the PG container was 1.7 mR/hr. No indication of contamination outside of the PG container was detected. A direct frisk of the RSO and PG user's hands found no indication of contamination. </br>DOH will take survey data including wipes and verify they are negative. Once verified, the RSO will contact the manufacturer or a waste broker for PG disposal. A leak test will be performed prior to transport. The damaged PG will remain secured in the transport box until disposal.</br>Washington state event number: WA-24-016</br>* * * UPDATE ON 04/14/2025 AT 1911 EDT FROM MARK HERNANDEZ TO IAN HOWARD * * *</br>The following is a summary of information provided by the Department via email:</br>The leak test was negative prior to shipping the PG for disposal.
