Title	Imported Equipment Tripped Radiation Alarm at Port of Entry
Event Description	The following information was received from the state of Florida via email: Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) in Tallahassee received an email this morning from Customs and Border Control (CBP), Jacksonville Seaport, Blount Island Terminal, regarding an excavator imported from Yokohama, Japan on Friday, August 12th, which they received a radiation alarm on. After the alarm, CBP isolated the radiation to an area towards the front passenger side of the excavator where they identified Cs-137 and Cs-134. The average dose rate was 21.5 microR/hr. at approximately 3 feet away (about 4x background) during a 10 minute acquisition using a handheld NaI [sodium iodide] 2x2 [inch] RadSeeker detector. BRC determined the excavator poses minimal risk, if any, to the general public and is safe to release for transport to Kissimmee, FL for auction. BRC will follow up once it arrives at end destination.
