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.

1. Locate the gauge and/or sources.
2. Do not touch or move the gauge.
