| Title | Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via facsimile:
The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified on Thursday, October 12, 2006, at 3:45 p.m., that a CPN Model MC-1-DRP had been damaged at 3:40 p.m., on October 12, 2006. The RSO stated that the gauge had been run over by a dump truck during a soil compaction test. The SC Department of Health and Environmental Control Duty Officer responded to the scene and arrived at 5:15 p.m. and found the area properly roped off. The source rod was extended and the gauge had sustained considerable damage. The inspector and licensee personnel were able to retract the source rod to the shielded position and place the gauge in the transport container. The inspector advised the RSO to return the gauge to the storage location, secure it from further use, and to contact the gauge manufacturer for further instruction regarding disposal. A typical CPN Model MC-1-DRP moisture density gauge contains 10 millicuries Cs-137 and 50 millicuries Am-241/Be. |
