Excess Densometer Available for Transfer to Licensed Agency



> Our company has a 5 mCi 241-Am source on our inventory, and we have no
> further need for it.  It is an Americium-Beryllium (AmBe) source in a
> Campbell Pacific Nuclear (CPN) Densometer instrument (Serial Number
> H390789066).  This was manufactured by CPN in 6/89.  It is used for
> measurements of soil density and soil moisture content.
> 
> We would like to determine if some one with a suitable license that has a
> legitimate need for such a source would be interested. Since this is a
> Department of Energy owned piece of equipment, it would be easiest to
> transfer to a state or federal agency, though properly licensed companies
> may be acceptable to DOE.  Such a transfer would not only eliminate our
> disposal cost, but would permit another entity to gain a useful and
> functional instrument that they would benefit by.
> 
> The current dose rate while the source is in the retracted position is
> less than 0.5 mR/hr, and there has never been any indication of source
> leakage.  If you need more details or are interested, please contact me at
> <bevesper@bhi-erc.com> or (509) 373-1001 (6 AM to 3PM, PDT).
