    Idk if it makes much of a difference, but the standardization block faces the other way, with the metal plate closest to the keypad.

    Showing the operator violating ALARA guidelines by setting the rod and stabbing it in the hole is not responsible.

    We've used an electrical drill to make a hole instead of punching one because it can be very laboring to pull the punching rod out when it comes to very stiff clay.

      Fascinating

      I've been working with some native Sandy clay out here lately... Pulling it out is an absolute nightmare

    He should be standing back like 15 feet during the test. No need to get extra gamma rays, inverse square guys.

      we're taught not to be more than 5 feet away from the gauge just in case heavy machines drive by.

    How doese anyone think it is a good idea to extend the rod before the unit is placed? I absolutely never extend the rod unless it is going directly into the hole I made. The ignorance is amazing.

      Get over yourself that source is self incapsulated five times about.... there is seriously no high risk associated with extending the rod so that you c an ensure proper lineup... I’m sure you collapse yourself holes a lot

      @@peaceandwealthseeker4504 that's beside the point. It's in direct conflict with any Agreement State and the Federal Radiation Safety guidelines and ALARA principles. I saw a State Radiation Safety Division guy suspend the RML of a whole damn branch office because he saw their employee in the field doing exactly that for several days in a row. Audited them to within an inch of their lives. Complacency is what kills people on the job faster than anything.
