AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - FOUND SOURCE
The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (the Agency) via telephone and email:
"On September 3, 2024, the Division of Radioactive Materials was notified that an Alnor Instruments dew point measurement device was located at a metal recycling facility in Bellwood, IL. The instrument was recovered by Agency staff and there was no indication of removable contamination. The device contains a 7 microcurie radium-226 foil that was manufactured and distributed by an Illinois specific licensee. An authorized service provider was contacted to assist in tracking down the original owner. The device was intact and no public exposures are anticipated as a result of this incident. If unable to locate the owner, this device will be incorporated in the Agency's orphan source recovery program and properly disposed of as low level radioactive waste. Updates to this report will be made as they become available."
