| Title | Damaged Troxler Moisture Density Gauge. |
| Event Description | The outer case and the key pad to a Troxler, Model number 3440, was damaged when a vehicle struck the case. The rod to the gauge still operates properly. The location of the incident occurred at the Newton County landfill near Brook, IN. The RSO will go to the site to take radiation surveys. The serial number of the gauge is 21041. The gauge contains 8 millicuries of Cesium-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241/Be.
Licensee reported that radiation surveys of the gauge indicated less than 3 milliRem/hr approximately six inches from the device, and the carry case isn't damaged. The licensee has recovered the gauge and will perform a leak test prior to forwarding it to the vendor via FedEx. Notified R3DO(Monte Phillips) and NMSS ( Sandra Wastler). |
