    A cesium-137 radioactive source used for density measurement leaked after construction materials fell on it, damaging its shielding. Workers were exposed and radiation was detected around the area. Emergency procedures were followed which included isolating the area, treating injured workers, informing relevant on-site teams, and developing an emergency response plan to prevent future incidents. Suggestions included training personnel, allowing only trained workers near radioactive sources, and activating emergency plans immediately in case of any radioactive accidents.

    Incident in Detail:
    J-Maint contractors are conducting
    lifting activity above a Radioactive Material
    (Cesium-137) at HPAL area, suddenly the
    load fall at radioactive material
    causing the break-up of RAM shield and
    spillage of radiation.
    Person Involved:
    J-maint Contractors
    CBNC ARSHO
    Field Operators Of HPAL
    Identify the Radioactive Source
    RAM source (Cesium-137)

    Source Material for Density Gauge

    Activity-1.9 GBq

    location 02VE04
    Emergency Procedure:
    Step 1- Inform foreman regarding Radioactive source leak at HPAL area

    Step2- Perform radiation detection around source at different parameters and
    locate the highest detection of radiation.

    Step 3- Isolate the area and put signs of radiation and information of high radiation
    detection.

    Step 4- Perform life saving action (first aid measures) on victims with injuries.

    step 5- Inform RSHO/ARHSO for source recovery.

    Step 6- Inform public for the assurance of their safety.
