| Event Description | The following report was received via email from the State of Florida:
An accident caused damage to a moisture density gauge at a work site on the Kissimmee River Restoration/CSX Bridge project. The operator of a large earthmoving vehicle lost control and ran over a parked truck with the gauge sitting on the tailgate. The truck & contents were mangled and buried under the earthmoving vehicle. The tech was not injured. A 15 foot area was roped off around the accident site. When the gauge was recovered it appeared to have some damage to the top housing. Survey readings were elevated to around 40-50 mR/hr at one foot. Using shielding, the gauge was transported to the Troxler office in Orlando for repair. Licensee sent a written report to this office. This office will take no further action on this incident. The device is a Troxler Model No. 3440 S/N 37720 with two sources; 9.0 mCi Cs-137 and 44 mCi Am-241/Be. Florida Incident No.: FL-11-062 |
