AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - BREACHED 90 MILLICURIE CS-137 SOURCE

"Ludlum-Sweetwater just called [state] to report a breached source. A 90 milliCurie cesium-137 source was cut open in the machine shop about 45 minutes ago. [A company representative] believes most of the contamination was contained to the machine shop area with a small amount being tracked to different parts of the plant.

"Workers were machining a piece of metal and did not realize it had a source in it. The workers were using a grinder and cutting on what they thought was a spacer. The source was to be mounted into a pig and used as a calibration source.

"The licensee needs assistance [from the state] with the names of companies licensed to assist with clean up."
