The following report was received via facs … The following report was received via facsimile:</br>On the morning of November 17, 2009, the Alabama Office of Radiation Control received a phone call from a representative of US Steel in Fairfield, Alabama advising the Agency (Alabama Office of Radiation Control) of the discovery of radiation levels in a load of scrap metal. The entire load of scrap was set aside and isolated. On the morning of November 20, 2009, a representative of the Office of Radiation Control visited the USA Steel facility in Fairfield to assist in locating and identifying the source of radiation. The source of radiation was identified as a stainless steel rod approximately 12 inches in length and 3/4 inches in diameter. Maximum radiation levels of 150 millirem/hour were noted at close proximity to one end of the rod. Preliminary field analysis identified the isotope as Cs-137. Based on the configuration and isotope, the source of radiation may be a source rod from a moisture density gauge. The source of radiation was isolated and preliminary leak test results in the field indicate that the source is not ruptured. The Alabama Office of Radiation Control is currently investigating where the source of radiation originated.</br>This is all the information that this Agency (Alabama Office of Radiation Control) has at this time and is current as of 10:30 am central time, November 23, 2009.</br>Alabama Incident 09-43.November 23, 2009.
