Title	Agreement State Report - Transportation Incident Involving Two Troxler Density Gauges
Event Description	The following information was obtained from State of Florida Bureau of Radiation Control via e-mail: On 4/05/03, a truck transporting a load of hazardous chemicals and two Troxler moisture density gauges was involved in an early morning accident. As a result of the accident, the truck caught fire and burned up. It was not known until 4/07/03, when a copy of the bill of lading was obtained, that the truck was carrying radioactive material. The Troxler gauges were being returned to the licensees from Troxler, Inc. after being calibrated. The gauges have not yet been located. Florida is investigating. * * UPDATE ON 02/08/05 @ 1226 FROM CHARLES ADAMS(fax) TO CHAUNCEY GOULD * * * On 4-5-03 a truck fire destroyed two Troxler gauges (FL03-058, PNO-II-03-005). Only one was found. Today the other has been located. The trucking company which carried the gauges apparently took the remains of the truck to their location in Lakeland Florida after the accident in 03. They just tried to send that metal to a scrap dealer and it set off the radiation alarm. Investigation by a hired consultant found the burned out remnants of the gauge. Swipes show no leakage. The licensee will take possession and arrange with Troxler for disposal. Notified Reg 2 RDO (Widman), NMSS EO (Essig) and Reg 1 RDO (Cobey)
