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 gauge should be locked in the SAFE position (page 3–8)
and the gauge stored in its transport case.
♦ It is recommended that the gauge and transport case should be
stored at least 15 ft (5 m) from full-time 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.
