On Monday, September 10, 2018, the damaged CPN gauge was brought to the CPN service center for evaluation and it was discovered that the tip containing the Cs-137 source had apparently broken off from the source rod in the accident. The Am-241/Be source was secure in place. The gauge operator and the RSO went to the accident site with a Geiger-Muller survey meter to search for the missing source after contacting the job site supervisor that they were returning to search for the lost radioactive source and to ensure personnel/equipment were not working in that area. The gauge operator was able to locate the Cs-137 sealed source at the job site, and used 8-inch long pliers to place it into the gauge's shielding. The gauge was then placed into the transport case and transported back to the service center for evaluation and emergency leak testing of the sealed source. | On Monday, September 10, 2018, the damaged CPN gauge was brought to the CPN service center for evaluation and it was discovered that the tip containing the Cs-137 source had apparently broken off from the source rod in the accident.
