| Title | Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via email:
On September 20, 2005, a Troxler moisture density gauge, S/N 8161 was run over by a compactor at a job site in Brentwood. According to the report (fax on 9/21/05 and letter dated 9/21/05) provided by the licensee, the gauge shell and base were in pieces. The rod was in one piece but was bent out of shape. The RSO was not available on 9/20/05 and he was immediately notified of the incident. The technician transported the damaged gauge to the Pacific Nuclear Technology (PNT) of Antioch for disposal. The leak test performed on 9/20/05 at PNT indicated no contamination. The inspector learned of this incident on 9/27/05 and contacted the licensee and PNT to get further information. According to PNT, the rod was not in the shielded position when it was transported to their location. RHB will perform an investigation to try to determine the cause of this incident.
