| Event Description | At about 1500 EDT, while traveling on US Rt. 19 South of Arnettsville, an employee of Triad Engineering [license number 45-18209-02] found a Troxler 3430 moisture-density gauge (S/N 24513) on the highway. The employee moved the gauge out of traffic and flagged down a state police officer. The police officer made some calls in an attempt to determine if anyone had reported the gauge lost. After negative results, the police officer left the gauge in the care of the Triad Engineering employee. The employee called his supervisor and was told to bring the gauge into the office where it could be adequately secured. After arriving at the office, calls were made to Troxler to determine to whom the gauge belonged. Troxler listed the gauge as belonging to CTL Engineering in Morgantown, West Virginia. Triad Engineering called CTL Engineering to tell them they had found their gauge. About 1710 EDT, an employee of CTL Engineering arrived at the Triad Engineering office and took possession of the gauge.
CTL Engineering, Inc. confirmed that a Troxler 3430 moisture-density gauge fell out of the back of their truck at around 1500 EDT, 3/18/2010, while on US Rt. 19. After an employee from CTL Engineering picked up the gauge from Triad Engineering, the gauge was transported to their facility. The gauge did not appear to be damaged, and the gauge is scheduled to be inspected. The driver of the truck will be required to take the four hour Troxler refresher course. Notified R1DO (Burritt), FSME EO (McIntosh). THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
