Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture/Density Gauge
Event Description	The following information was received via email from the State of California: The current corporate RSO (will also to be assigned as the future RSO for this license) contacted RHB [California Radiologic Health Branch] to report incident that happened on 08/30/13. The RSO was conducting an audit of the program and learned that one of their gauges (Troxler model 3411, S/N 4089, containing 9 mCi of Cs-137 and 44 mCi of Am-241 was run over by a compactor at the Lower Butte Creek Levee Project on 08/30/13. The field technician had reported the incident to the RSO [at the time of the incident]. The rod was broken, however, the source was contained within the shielded part of the gauge assembly. The technician brought the damaged gauge back to the licensee's storage facility and it was stored there until it was picked up by PNT on July 24, 2014. The RSO failed to inform the incident to RHB within 24 hrs. and the incident was reported to RHB almost a year later. The licensee is in the process of changing the RSO to the corporate RSO. Recently, the new RSO has provided refresher training to all the gauge users. The facility will be cited for failure to report the incident per CCR 30295 (b) and 10 CFR 30.50 (b) and for failure to follow procedures. CA Report No: 072414
