Disposal
A nuclear gauge contains licensed radioactive material. At the
end of a gauge’s service life, it must not be discarded as ordinary
trash, recycled as scrap material, or abandoned. Instead, a
nuclear gauge must be transferred to an authorized recipient
licensed by the NRC or an Agreement State. For further
information on gauge disposal, contact Troxler.
Emergency Procedures
If the nuclear gauge is lost or stolen, then immediately notify the
gauge owner’s Radiation Safety Officer (RSO).
The gauge owner should complete the emergency contact
information on the lines furnished below. (Note that company
refers to the gauge owner’s company, not Troxler Electronic
Laboratories.) This information should be readily available to
the gauge operator at all times.
