The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) hasn't been to the incident location, however, he confirmed that the barn where the gauge was stored and the adjacent house have been burned down during the wildfire. The gauge is presumed to have been damaged by the fire; however, due to high temperature resistant construction of the source, the source integrity may not have been affected. According to the RSO, the property is located in a remote area in Napa County, and the entrance to the property is secured by two locked metal gates. Access by the general public is not anticipated. The RSO had already contacted the vendor, Instrotek for disposal of the damaged gauge. The RHB will be coordinating with Instrotek and intends to accompany Isotek if Isotek goes to the site. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has also been informed, and it is possible they may be involved in the gauge recovery. | The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) hasn't been to the incident location, however, he confirmed that the barn where the gauge was stored and the adjacent house have been burned down during the wildfire.
