Reportable Event Number: N/A

Discussion:

Region III received a call from a representative of Warren Scrap Company 
who reported that about 2 weeks ago, a load of shredded scrap metal was  
returned to the company from the Luntz Corporation of Canton, Ohio. The  
load was returned because it caused the radiation monitoring system at   
Luntz to alarm. The load consists of five 55 gallon drums of shredded    
o-rings from aircraft engines, which according to the representative, may
contain magnesium-thorium. The o-rings were obtained from American       
Welding Company which ceased business operation approximately two years  
ago. Using a micro-R meter, the Warren Scrap Company representative      
determined that the maximum radiation level at a distance of 2 feet from 
the drums was less than 1 mR/hr. The drums have been segregated from     
other scrap material at the company.                                     

Regional Action:

In accordance with the draft Federal Radiological Response Plan, Region  
III notified the EPA of this matter. NMSS was also notified.
