| Title | Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture/Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received via facsimile:
The licensee reported on July 29, 2014, that a portable density gauge had been damaged by a compaction roller at a temporary job site in Loudoun County, Virginia. The gauge was a CPN Model MC with a 10 millicurie Cesium-137 source and a 50 millicurie Americium-241 source. Investigation by the licensee's radiation safety officer indicated there was no damage to the gauge casing and that the sources were in their shields when the accident occurred. The control rod for the Cesium source was slightly bent as a result of the accident, but both sources remained in their shielded positions. The gauge was returned to the licensee's office and a leak test wipe was sent for analysis. The licensee plans to transport the gauge to an authorized repair facility after the leak test results are received. A written report is required within 30 days.
