How a facility manager is supposed to report a release of a radiological material

In the event of a release of any radioactive material, facility managers must call the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Radiation Protection 24 hour line at 614-644-2727. Their emergency line is 614-722-7221.

These notifications are in addition to the notifications detailed above in the “How to report a release-immediate actions” section. Staff at the Bureau of Radiation Protection will report the information to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission if appropriate.
