The Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection representative stated that he surveyed the gauge and cleared it since no damage was done. Tri State has also visually inspected and surveyed the gauge and found it to be intact and not tampered with. For extra precautions, a leak test of the gauge was taken and sent to a certified lab. The gauge will not be used until we have received the results from the lab. | |||
Moving forward, all technicians have been instructed to make every attempt to drop off their gauge at Tri State Materials Testing Lab's designated gauge room every day at the end of their field work. If they cannot make it back due to weekend and night work, they must store the gauge at their home securely to prevent this type of incident recurrence. | |||

Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
