Prime CM&S
Annual Refresher Training on Nuclear Density Gauge Operation & Safety
Any Prime CM&S staff in Columbus or Cincinnati who anticipate utilizing a nuclear density gauge within the next 12-months must complete this quiz.
True, Prime's radioactive materials license requires documentation of each time a nuclear gauge was removed from it's authorized storage area.
False, signing out nuclear gauges is at the discretion of the technician.
Rate this question:
True, Prime's radioactive materials license requires documentation of each time a nuclear gauge was returned to it's authorized storage area.
False, it's not a big deal if you forget to sign the gauge back in.
Rate this question:
True, signing a gauge out of its storage area assumes your responsibility for proper care and appropriate use of all contents within the case.Â
False, it is the responsibility of whoever used that gauge & its contents previously.
Rate this question:
True, there are dozens to hundreds of people you don't know on construction sites who should not be assumed to be trustworthy. Your signature for taking the gauge out assumes your responsibility for both damage & theft/misplacement.
False, the gauge can simply stay near the truck while you test concrete or go into the job trailer.
Rate this question:
The dump truck operator, for not spotting the hazard.
The testing technician, for not treating the gauge as an extension of themselves.
Rate this question:
True, this could be a good team building practice for the job site.
False, only persons listed on the Authorized Users sheet in the gauge packet are to operate Prime nuclear gauges.
Rate this question:
True, as long as it has most of the same symbols it should be good.
False, there are specific labels for our nuclear gauge cases which are to be intact and in good condition during transport.
Rate this question:
True, light precipitation isn't that bad for the gauge.
False, introducing the nuclear gauge to any amount of moisture can lead to repairs that exceed $500.00

True, any gauge can be used on an ODOT project
False, only gauges which have been certified by ODOT may be used on ODOT projects.
Rate this question:

All of the above
Rate this question:
True, nuclear gauges are really just simple computers inside a metal case.
False, nuclear gauge repairs are very expensive. Additionally; they require several non-billable trips to TTL and it takes the gauge out of use for an upwards of 2 months.

Rate this question:
Cannot handle hazardous materials
Has been exposed to hazardous materials
Has been cited by OSHA
Handles hazardous materials as part of the job
Rate this question:
True, a run for lunch shouldn't take more than 30 minutes, which isn't long enough for something to happen to the gauge.
False, in this instance; the technician should turn off, clean & lock the gauge back in its protective case before securing it to the bed of the truck and departing for lunch.
Rate this question:
True - Our license allows us to do this and no precautions are needed
False - There are numerous arrangements the RSO must set up for safety purposes and with the Ohio Department of Health prior to allowing a gauge to be stored overnight
Heavy Rope
Chain or braided steel cable
Industrial zip ties
Rate this question:
An extension of themselves. (Immediately within arm's reach and free of hazard.)
A beacon of light. (Placed in a well-lit area, visible from most places on-site.)
Dry as a scorpion in the Sahara Desert. (Dry & Dangerous.)
Rate this question:
True, their rigid structure implies they're weatherproof.
False, despite their rigid structure; nuclear gauges are extremely susceptible to damage from all forms of moisture.
Month
Week
Day
Rate this question:
True
False - Each gauge is calibrated to it's particular standard block and interchanging them will lead to inaccurate standard counts and testing results.
Securely chained near the tailgate, away from passengers.
Securely chained to the cab end of the bed, near passengers.
Rate this question:
The technician responsible would indeed face administrative action & likely termination.
An extensive radiation pollution survey would have to be conducted on the job site, shutting down work for days -to- weeks while permanently damaging Prime CM&S reputation as a prestigious materials testing company.
Prime CM&S would have their license to handle radioactive materials & equipment in the state of Ohio suspended or revoked, damaging contractual obligations on dozens of sites to provide compaction testing.
All of the above are highly likely consequences.
Rate this question:
True, the nuclear source is securely sealed within the gauge housing
False, prolonged exposure to temperatures this high can "fry" the electronic components of a nuclear gauge
Resident Superintendent Officer
Radiation Safety Officer
Regulating Supervisor Official
Required Safety Overseer
Rate this question:
True - Prime will be keeping track of when each gauge was used so that they can appropriately bill their clients
False - Prime is not interested in the money it could be making from it's billable equipment
Rate this question:
True, this is the safest place for the packet to be stored during transportation.
False, the nuclear gauge packet should be within arm's reach of the driver during transportation. This is so that the packet is visible to anyone entering the vehicle or so that it can be provided to law enforcement.
Rate this question:
True, the contractor could introduce new material to the site -or- the client could want a new area tested.
False, we're only on-site to test what we suppose we may be testing that day.

The employee must pay for the next leak test on that gauge.
Immediate suspension of the employee from using or transporting a nuclear gauge.
Rate this question:
True, Prime trucks are required to have a big orange sticker on the tailgate stating that they're transporting radioactive equipment.
False, this is not a requirement of Prime's radioactive materials license. Though it is critical to have the nuclear gauge packet available in the cab of the vehicle for law enforcement to inspect in the event of an accident or pull-over.
Rate this question:
True, this gauge functions perfectly when placed in this mode
False, this particular gauge must be used in manual mode where it works perfectly fine. This gauge is damaged and will not deliver correct readings when placed in auto mode.
