Sealed Sources

[peterson@ridgefield.sdr.slb.com (Carl Peterson)]

Luke McCormick summed it up pretty well.

I just want to add that the Cs and Ambe sources are triply sealed and
designed for down-hole pressures and temperatures.  And are tested for
removable activity every five months.  These sources are no where near
radiographic activities.

As Luke said Schlumberger is quite serious about safety and there are high
levels of administrative control, as well as initial training and refresher
training.

Cheers

Carl
