| Title | Damaged Cpn Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | A construction roller damaged the outer housing of a CPN moisture density gauge while it was sitting on the asphalt. The sources were fully contained. A portable radiac verified no abnormal radiation and swipe tests were performed to verify the sources were not leaking.
Sources: Cs-137 10 milliCuries Am-241 50 milliCuries
At 1145 EDT on 8/1//12, a construction roller damaged the upper housing of the nuclear gauge. The RSO was notified at 1150 EDT. A Radiation Physicist Consultant from the Department of Health conducted a visual inspection and radiation surveys to verify shielding integrity. The leak tests of the two sources were negative. The authorized user placed the gauge in a shipping case for storage in the company area. The gauge will be returned to the manufacture for repairs. Notified R1DO (Krohn) and FSME Events Resource via email. |
