TROXLER GAUGE WAS LEFT AT A CONSTRUCTION SITE AT THE PENTAGON
A Metro Transit police officer noticed a plastic container at a construction site at the Pentagon which gave him a reading of 4 on his radiation detection pager. This item turned out to be a Troxler gauge which was stored in a box near the construction fence at the Pentagon. The Arlington, Va. hazmat team responded and measured 369 microR at the device and secured it. The responsible licensee is Craig Testing Laboratories Inc. located in Region 1.
