The necessary steps should be taken in the following order:
Locate source.
Check function of shielding
Check effectiveness of shielding by measuring the dose rate
Guard and mark controlled areas.
Secure source and shielding.
Document the incident and assess possible radiation exposure
of personnel.
In case the source capsule is damaged, the following points have to
be considered:
Avoid contamination.
Handle source with tools (e.g. pincers or tweezers) and put
both (source and tool) in a plastic bag.
Stay behind auxiliary shielding (e.g. concrete, steel, or lead
plate).
Check if vicinity is free of contamination
Secure radioactive waste properly (deposit at governmental
collection site or return to manufacturer).
If the source is leaking and the dose rate might possibly be
exceeded, the regulatory authority (e.g. trade board) has to be
notified immediately.
In case of an accident or malfunction or any other event which
affects the safety, the regulatory authority has to be informed and
also, if necessary, the authority in charge of public safety. Please
contact BERTHOLD TECHNOLOGIES if you need any further infor-
mation.
