Title	Ohio Agreement State Report: Damaged Troxler Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	ODH was notified on 12/19/05 by the licensee that a Troxler moisture density gauge received extensive damage when it was run over by a construction vehicle at a job site. The gauge was a Troxler Model 3430, serial number 31068, containing 8 mCi (millicuries) of Cs-137 and 40 mCi (millicuries) of Am-241. Preliminary notification by the licensee is that the gauge was left unattended but is still in sight of the operator, who had gone back to their truck to verify information for the next analysis. While the operator was away from the gauge, the construction vehicle approached the location and ran over the gauge. The gauge user was unable to get back to the gauge and wave away the truck driver before the gauge was run over. The gauge casing was destroyed but initial surveys performed on site indicate that the sources remained intact. The gauge was packed into the transport case and transported to a gauge service provider for leak testing and packaging for return to the manufacturer. An investigation is being conducted by ODH. ITEM NUMBER: OH050010 * * UPDATE FROM S. JAMES TO W. GOTT AT 1633 ON 02/08/06 * * * The State provided the following information via email: Device was found to not be leaking and was returned to the manufacturer. Notified R3DO (Lanksbury) and NMSS (Camper).
