Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The licensee's Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) called and informed the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that a moisture density gauge had been damaged while it was being used at a work site. The worker had stored the sources in the safe condition and left the gauge at the side of the road he was working on to get a drink of water. Before he returned to the gauge, it was struck by a truck passing by on the road and the gauge rod on the top side of the gauge was bent and the gauge case was damaged. The sources both remained shielded. A service company (Component Sales) has been called to pick up the gauge and conduct an inspection of the device. The gauge is a Troxler Model 3440 ser # 23586 containing a 8 millicurie Cesium (Cs) 137 source and a 40 millicurie Americium (Am) - 241 Beryllium source. Texas Incident # I-8566
