Title	Troxler Gauge Damage by Backhoe
Event Description	On 11/4/07 at around 8:45 a.m. to 9 a.m. a Troxler (Model 3430, S/N 33496) moisture density gauge was being used at a construction site when a backhoe suddenly reversed direction and backed over it. The sealed source in the gauge is in the stored and shielded position. The licensee plans to return the gauge to the manufacturer to determine the extent of the damage and for repair. * * RETRACTION PROVIDED BY C. NABHAN TO J. KOZAL ON 12/05/07 AT 1325 * * * Upon inspection by the Troxler Corporation the gauge was found in the normal condition with only cosmetic damage. No safety equipment was damaged or found inoperable. Troxler performed a microscopic inspection of the source rod and the neutron source cavity, as well as the plug that secures the source. No defects were found. Therefore, no failure of safety equipment existed at any time. Notified R1DO (Barkley), FSME EO (Burgess)
