Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture-Density Gauge
Event Description	The State provided the following information via e-mail: At about 8:45 am, [DELETED] with California OES notified RHB that he had received a call regarding a damaged moisture-density gauge. [DELETED], Alternate RSO for Southland Geotechnical (also dba Landmark Consultants), called to report that a Troxler, Model 3430 moisture-density gauge (S/N 29144), with a nominal 8 mCi Cs-137 and a nominal 40 mCi Am-241 source was run over by a loader at a temporary job-site in Heber, CA. The guide bar was broken, but the source rod was not. They were able to fully retract the source, but could not lock it in the shielded position. They took a leak test of the source, which is being analyzed, and they used duct tape to maintain the source in the shielded position. The source is currently secured in its case at the authorized, permanent storage location. After the results of the leak test are returned, if it is negative, the gauge will be returned to Troxler for repair.
