| Title | Damaged Troxler Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The National Response Center reported that the licensee reported to them that a moisture density gauge was run over by a bulldozer at a construction site in Springfield, MO and that the area had been isolated.
In contacting the licensee, the RSO stated that the extent of damage to the gauge (Model 3440 Troxler 8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am-241:Be) was as of yet unknown. The licensee plans on requesting local fire department Haz Mat Team assistance in performing surveys and will contact Troxler for information on recovering and returning the gauge. The licensee will be providing an update with additional details and status.
The licensee reported that the Springfield, MO Fire Department responded to the construction site, assisted in returning the damaged gauge to its transportation case, and performed a radiation survey of the gauge and the area where it was damaged. No area contamination or apparent source leakage was noted. The area has been cleared for access, and the gauge is being returned to the licensee's laboratory in Branson, MO where source leak testing will be performed prior to shipment to the manufacturer. Notified R3 DO (Lanksbury) and NMSS EO (Leach). |
