    • Blank compaction testing forms.

    • Gauge Operation Manual

    • Gauge Standard Count Log

    Correct Answer
    A. Blank compaction testing forms.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "Blank compaction testing forms." The question asks which item is NOT in the document packet for each gauge. The other options, such as Prime's License for Radioactive Material, Prime's Emergency Procedure, the most recent calibration & leak test documents, Prime's Radiation Safety Program, updated list of Authorized Users, Gauge Operation Manual, and Gauge Standard Count Log, are all items that would typically be included in the document packet. However, blank compaction testing forms are not typically included in the packet as they are forms that need to be filled out during the testing process.

    Nuclear gauges need to be calibrated every...

    • 3 months

    • 6 months

    • 12 months

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 12 months
    Explanation
    Nuclear gauges need to be calibrated every 12 months. Calibration is necessary to ensure that the gauges are providing accurate and reliable measurements. Over time, factors such as temperature changes, wear and tear, and drift in the gauge's internal components can affect its accuracy. By calibrating the gauges annually, any deviations from the standard can be identified and corrected, ensuring the gauges continue to provide precise measurements. Calibrating more frequently, such as every 3 or 6 months, may be unnecessary and time-consuming unless specific circumstances or regulations require it.

    In the event of a vehicle accident when transporting a nuclear gauge, the first person on the Emergency Contact Call-down list is...

    • 911

    • Ohio Department of Health

    • Andy Hood (RSO)

    • Sheila at TTL

    Correct Answer
    A. Andy Hood (RSO)
    Explanation
    In the event of a vehicle accident when transporting a nuclear gauge, the first person on the Emergency Contact Call-down list would be Andy Hood (RSO). This is because Andy Hood is likely the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) responsible for handling and managing the nuclear gauge. In case of an accident, it is crucial to inform the RSO immediately to ensure proper handling and containment of any potential radiation hazards.
