Licensee representatives opened [the] storage container [with the Troxler type gauges] to verify that the gauges were inside [and intact]. The emergency is in the process of being terminated. The [State] of Florida will continue its investigation. There was never any actual fire or release of any radioactive material during the course of this event. Florida Report FL05-016 |
