STORAGE SITE SELECTION
When deciding where to store the gauge, take into consideration the
rules governing the storage of low-level radioactive devices that are
set forth by your regulatory agency and the conditions of your gauge
license.
◆ The handle should be locked and the gauge stored in its
transport case.
◆ It is recommended that the gauge and transport case be stored at
least 15 ft (5 m) from work areas, preferably in a locked
closet/storage area in a dry location (indoors).
◆ The storage area should be marked with a radiation sign that
reads “CAUTION RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS” (can be
obtained from Troxler).
◆ The storage of a nuclear gauge in a motor vehicle is not
recommended.
