Final answer:

This question requires knowledge of the specific protocols for incident reporting involving radioactive material releases. The answer calls for consultations with regulatory documents on radiation safety and incident response procedures.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario described deals with a radioactive material release and potential exposure to radiation. The question pertains to the immediate actions required in response to such an incident. Additionally, the radioactive material represents a health hazard through its ALI (Annual Limit on Intake) which determines the maximum amount of radioactive material ingested or inhaled by a worker in a year. To accurately address the situation and the question, one would need to consult the specific regulations and procedures in place for the AFMSA/BE Division or similar governing entities regarding incident reporting and emergency response. In a real-life scenario, the immediate safety of personnel and containment would be the highest priorities, followed by notifications as prescribed by local regulations.
