Title	Agreement State - Maryland - Damaged Troxler Nuclear Density Gauge
Event Description	A representative for the state of Maryland Radiological Health Program reported that a Troxler nuclear density gauge was damaged when run over by construction equipment. The gauge, a Troxler 3430 (8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am-241/Be; S/N 39041) was left unattended and was inadvertently run over by a large roller. The licensee secured the scene of the incident and contacted the state of Maryland. The state inspector found that the gauge had been extensively damaged with the source rod exposed. The state called in a Radiological Service Organization (RSO) contractor to assist in the source rod recovery. The source was successfully retrieved and placed into a shielded container and taken to the RSO's facility for ultimate disposal. There was no indication of breach of the sources or contamination as a result of this event. The state plans to follow-up with the licensee regarding failure to maintaining control over the Troxler while in use.
