| event text = Radioactive material was detected in scrap metal waste delivered to a scrap yard (Shredded Products, Montvale VA) on 5/13/05. The scrap yard notified the State of Virginia Department of Health. The State Department of Health, with the assistance of a contractor (Physics Associates) located the radioactive material. The radioactive material was a sealed source of Strontium-90 used in a thickness measuring gauge. | | event text = Radioactive material was detected in scrap metal waste delivered to a scrap yard (Shredded Products, Montvale VA) on 5/13/05.

Identification marking on the Strontium-90 source indicate that it was a 10 millicurie source in 1967. Based on current radiation measurements, the source strength is estimated at about 4 millicuries. The source has been verified to be intact and not leaking and is safely in possession of Physics Associates (licensed to posses this material). | Identification marking on the Strontium-90 source indicate that it was a 10 millicurie source in 1967.
