| Title | Missing Dough Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection reported that the Pepperidge Farm bakery facility in Norwalk, CT reported that a generally-licensed Kay-Ray (now Thermo Measure Tech, Inc) Model 7060BP density gauge used to measure bakery dough density is missing and presumed sent to a scrap recycler in South Norwalk, CT sometime within the last 4 weeks. Pepperidge Farm is in the process of relocating their facility and the gauge will no longer be used. The gauge contains a 50 millicurie (as of August 1983) Cs-137 source. The State plans on notifying recipients of processed scrap shipped by the scrap recycler. In addition, the State will be conducting a radiation survey of the Pepperidge Farm facility to help confirm that the gauge is no longer at the facility. |
