The Federal Emergency Management Agency is proposing updates to the Flood Insurance Rate Map along Gum Run and Middle Spring Creek in the Township of Southampton, Franklin County, Pennsylvania. Community partners are invited to participate in a 90-day appeal and comment period. 

The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state and agency officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place, but before the maps become final, community partners can identify any corrections or questions about the information provided and submit appeals or comments. 

The 90-day appeal period began on Oct. 24, 2025. Residents, business owners and other community partners are encouraged to review the updated maps to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements. They may submit an appeal if they perceive that modeling or data used to create the map is technically or scientifically incorrect.

An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim. Appeals cannot be based on the effects of proposed projects or projects started after the study is in progress.If property owners see incorrect information that does not change the flood hazard information—such as a missing or misspelled road name in the Special Flood Hazard Area or an incorrect corporate boundary—they can submit a written comment.

The next step in the mapping process is the resolution

Worker Exceeded Annual Whole Body Dose Limit

Print View Posted on: 23 December 2025

Event Date: 19 August 2025 Event Type: Radiation Source Event Location: Germany, Bavaria / Company for Material Testing INES Rating: 2 (Final)

On 19.08.2025, an employee of a company carried out a non-destructive testing using a Se-75 source with an activity of 1.95 TBq. When winding back the source into its safety position in a tube, the source detached from its holder, so that the source remained in the collimator. When the radiation officer entered the bunker his electronic radiation protection dosimeter gave a warning signal. The radiation officer covered the tube and the collimator with several layers of lead. In total the worker stayed 10 seconds at a distance of 1 m close to the source. The monthly evaluation of the official dosimeter provided a value of 49.7 mSv for August 2025 exceeding the statutory annual whole body dose limit for workers.

INES Rating: 2 – Incident (Final) as per 22 December 2025
