| Title | Moisture Density Gauge Lost at Job Site |
| Event Description | A Troxler Model 3440 moisture density gauge (S/N 33256, activity 8.8 milliCurie of Cs-137 and 44 milliCurie Am/Be) was lost at a job site after 4:00 pm on April 25, 2005. The gauge user did not check that the gauge was present in the transport vehicle before proceeding to the next job site. The fence around the jobsite was locked, and no other workers were present to determine whether the gauge was found and placed in the licensee's work trailer. Officials (local police, etc) will be notified if the gauge is not found at the job site on 4/26/05.

The following update was provided by the State via facsimile: The gauge was found the same day the device was lost. The masonry contractor who found the gauge at the job site contacted a contractor who is also a gauge licensee and was working at the same job site. The gauge licensee/contractor then took possession of the gauge and notified Owens Geotechnical who took possession of the gauge on 4/26/05. This incident is considered to by closed. R4DO (Johnson) and NMSS EO (Essig) notified. |
