Model 3440-L C–7
C. RADIOLOGICAL SAFET
If a vehicle is involved, it must be stopped until the extent of
contamination, if any, can be established.
The gauge operator should perform a visual inspection of the nuclear
gauge to determine if the source housing and/or shielding has been
damaged.
Use a survey meter to measure the dose rate at a distance of 3 ft (1 m)
from the gauge.
Contact the company RSO (name and number given at the beginning
of this section). Provide the RSO with the following:
♦ The date, time, and location of the accident
♦ The gauge model and serial number
♦ The nature of the accident
♦ The location and condition of the gauge and/or source
♦ The dose rate at 3 ft (1 m) from the gauge
If you are unable to reach the RSO, then call your regulatory agency
(name and number given at the beginning of this section).
Follow the instructions of the RSO. The RSO may be required to
report the incident to the regulatory agency. The RSO may also be
required to notify the USDOT of accidents during transport.
Take a picture of the gauge. Perform a leak test and send the leak test
wipe to Troxler for analysis. The Troxler RSO will contact you and
give you an RGA (returned goods authorization). Do not ship a
damaged gauge to Troxler without an RGA.
