RE: Request for help in identifying found sealed source

["Spell, Bill" <bills@deq.state.la.us>]

I think we can help her.  The model sounds familiar.....it's probably a 
crawler locator or a well-logging source.   No question, however, the 
manufacturers sound familiar.....both are out of business, one from TX and 
the other from LA.  I'll put someone on it tomorrow, and we'll call her. 
 Now, ownership is another matter, so this may be next to impossible at this 
time......many moons have passed over the teepee!

Rita Aldrich (phone 518 457-1202) of the Radiological Health Unit with
the State of NY has requested assistance in tracing ownership of a
sealed source discovered in trash.

Manufacturer:  Gulf Nuclear or Gamma Industries
Manufacture date: 1981
Nuclide:  Cs-137
Activity at manufacture: 100 mCi
Model # VL-1
Serial #: 669
Dimensions: 14 mm X 7 mm (cylinder)

The source was not in a holder when found, but is thought to be from an
industrial gauge.

Rita Aldrich has photos & would appreciate calls (I don't believe she's
a RadSafe subscriber) from anyone who might be able to assist as they
attempt to trace ownership.
