| Title | Agreement State Report - Damage to Troxler Portable Density Gauge |
| Event Description | A Troxler portable density gauge was run over by a forklift at a construction site. The source rod was retrieved into the gauge by the RSO. The damaged gauge was surveyed and then the gauge was removed for transport to the company office. The construction site was surveyed to ensure both sources were in the gauge.
The licensee is reviewing their procedures to determine what can be done to reduce the risk of this type of incident happening again. The density gauge is a Model 3430 Troxler with a nominal 8 mCi Cs-137 gamma source and a 40 mCi Am-241:Be neutron source. North Dakota Incident #: ND10005 |
