SOURCE HOLDER FRAME AND CONTROL SYSTEM DAMAGED
On 6/21/03 at approximately 1150 CST, a source holder frame that houses a 1 Curie Am-241 source was damaged. The licensee, Nucor Steel, uses the source to determine steel strip thickness. The source holder and the source are intact and the source is retracted into the safe position. Only the metal frame that supports the source holder and the source control system was damaged. The manufacturer, Radiometric, has been contacted to repair the frame. The source is exposed using an air signal which is currently locked and tagged out by the licensee.
Informed R3DO (Riemer) and NMSS EO (Reamer).
