After the neutron source in the coke tower neutron level gauge is removed, is the level gauge transmitter still radioactive?

During the maintenance of the coke tower, the neutron source is stored separately in a lead container provided by the manufacturer. I’m worried that the removed transmitter might emit radiation; do I need to find a place to store it? ?

There’s a radiation counter; go and measure it…… It’s likely that there is radiation present. . . . . .

The manufacturer replied that after the neutron source is removed, its transmitter does not leave any radiation behind.

Why do transmitters emit radiation? Unless the lead container holding the radioactive source is not properly sealed and radioactive material leaks out, this is a serious accident; such a situation generally does not occur.

What I mean is that during parking for maintenance, after the neutron source is removed, the sensors and transmitters on the tower wall emit no radiation

Theoretically, there is a small amount present, but it’s extremely minimal and will not cause any harm to the human body. As long as the radioactive source remains intact, it can be used with confidence. Neutron level gauge manufacturer – Engineer Wang from Huake.
