For the Recognition and Proper Response to Legacy Radioactive Material

During the chemical clean out of B070-0264, Ron Scholtz found a small vial with a "Caution Radioactive Material" label in a cabinet drawer. The room is not currently authorized for radiological work and was not posted. Ron immediately placed the vial aside and notified the Radiation Protection Group (RPG). He then maintained control over the vial and stayed in the area until RPG arrived.
