NOTE

The dose rate at 1 meter (3 feet) from the gauge is

less than 0.01 mrem/hr.

If you are unable to reach the Gauge Owner, then call the

Other Contact (name and number given at the beginning of

this section).

Follow the instructions of the Gauge Owner. The Gauge

Owner may need to report the incident.
