The second gauge, model HPS-1, contains a 500 milliCurie cobalt - 60 source. The failure does not create an exposure risk to any individual. The RSO stated they had received the results for the dosimetry sent for processing from the first reported failure and all readings were 0.0 millirem. The highest lifetime dose for any individual in the report was 105 millirem. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. | |||
