Title	Loss of Control of Troxler Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The licensee employee transporting a Troxler moisture density gauge was transiting on DE 896 along Cobbler Creek Curve at approximately 2030 on 4/21/08 and was involved in a severe car accident. The State Police and emergency medical services responded to the scene. The employee was incapacitated and transported to the hospital. The responders were unaware of the presence of the Troxler and had the vehicle towed to a towing yard for storage. The licensee RSO learned of the accident at approximately 1145 and immediately contacted the Delaware State Police and local law enforcement (Newcastle County Sheriff). The licensee was given the contact information of the towing yard and proceeded to contact the towing yard staff. The licensee informed the towing yard of the situation and requested that a visual inspection be performed of the external integrity of the container. The results of the inspection were that the gauge remains chained to the bed of the truck and the container appears to remain secure. The licensee requested that the towing yard keep the area around the vehicle clear of personnel. The company local RSO in Pennsylvania is enroute to the vehicle and will perform a field leak test on the gauge upon arrival. Troxler information (SN 32643 - Source Strength 8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am/Be).
