Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following report was received via facsimile: On May 29, 2009, H & S Construction reported that a Troxler moisture density gauge was accidently backed into. The gauge was a Troxler model 3440, serial number 28470, with a 9 mCi source of Cs-137 and a 44 mCi source of Am:Be. The source was in the locked and shielded position when it was hit. The plastic cover on the gauge was broken on one side. An investigation was performed by DEQ [Department of Environmental Quality]. A radiation survey was performed with readings of 7 mR/hr on the damaged side and 3 mR/hr on the undamaged side. The gauge was taken to Gamma-Tron Services so a leak test could be performed. The leak test (less than 0.005 uCi of removable contamination) confirmed that neither the Cs-137 source nor the Am:Be source were damaged or compromised during this incident.
