Part of Lab's OSRP
A Tuskegee University employee uses a cutting torch to separate the steel base from a gammator recovered earlier this month at the Alabama college by the Laboratory's Off-Site Source Recovery Project. The gammator, which contains cesium-137, a high gamma-emitting isotope, was packed in a radioactive material shipping container for transport to a location in California. By the end of the 2005 fiscal year, the OSRP will have recovered all of this series of 13 excess and unwanted irradiators from various sites around the country.
