AGREEMENT STATE REPORT/POSSIBLE RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL INCIDENT INVOLVING DISCOVERY AND DISPOSAL (AS TRASH) OF CONTAINERS WITH RADIOACTIVE LABELS IN NORTH CAROLINA
The following text is a portion of a facsimile received from the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Radiation Protection:
"On April 17, 2002, the North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection, Radioactive Material Section, was notified by the North Carolina Hazardous Material staff of an ongoing event possibly involving radioactive material. During the clean up of an unoccupied home (located in Asheville, NC) by a church group, several containers with radioactive labels were discovered and disposed of as trash (on April 13, 2002). The containers (approximately 10 in number) were described as 3 inches in diameter (possibly lead), labeled with the radiation symbol, and labeled 'TC'. Local authorities have concluded the trash was deposited at the local landfill (Buncombe Co.) and is currently under 1,500 tons of trash. Local authorities have performed radiation exposure measurements at the landfill and home site[. They] report no significant measurements above background levels. The North Carolina Division of Radiation Protection is continuing to gather information."
Call the NRC operations officer for contact information.
