In the event of a nuclear gauge malfunction, who should be contacted?

In the event of a nuclear gauge malfunction, it is essential to contact the designated radiological safety officer or supervisor as they have the specialized training and authority to manage incidents involving radiation safety. This person is responsible for ensuring safe practices, overseeing compliance with regulations, and implementing appropriate responses to hazards associated with nuclear devices. They can assess the situation accurately, provide guidance on next steps, and coordinate with appropriate agencies if necessary.

While other options may seem like they could provide help, only the radiological safety officer or supervisor possesses the knowledge of specific protocols related to radiation safety and gauge operation. This ensures the safety of all personnel and adheres to regulatory requirements in the handling of potentially hazardous materials.
