Title	Agreement State Report - Two Unused Process Gauges Sent to Scrap Yard
Event Description	International Paper performed an inventory of their sources and realized that while performing demolition work at their facility, two unused process gauges were removed from the site. The removal of the gauges was outside the scope of the demolition work. The two process gauges were located on long poles, were removed from the site using a crane, and were sent to a nearby scrap yard. The South Carolina Division of Health and Environmental Control sent an inspector to the scrap yard and he was able to find and recover both gauges. The shutter on one gauge had remained closed and the second gauge shutter was partially open and reading 50 mR/hour on contact. The first gauge was recovered at 1220 EST and the second gauge was recovered at 1315 EST and the shutter was shut. Wipe tests on both gauges were negative. The gauges were returned to International Paper and are locked in a secure location. No personnel exposures were expected from this incident. Gauges: Cs-137 50 mCi each (in 1988) TN Tech Model 5219 Serial Numbers: TNB61 and TNB64
