Title	Agreement State Report - Moisture Density Gauge Run Over by Bulldozer
Event Description	The following was received from the State of New York via email: On 6/23/15, at 0953 [EDT], the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) of APPLUS RTD USA Inc., called The New York State Department of Health to report that on 6/22/15, a bulldozer ran over a Troxler Model 3440 Moisture Density Gauge, containing 8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am-241/Be. This occurred at the University of Buffalo, South Campus in front of Clark Hall. From the RSO's description and the emailed photographs, the yellow casing was severely damaged on one side, the side farthest from the sources. The rod and source were not extended at the time of the accident. The East Region RSO for APPLUS RTD USA Inc. used a Teletector Model 6112M with an 8 foot arm while approaching the unit to ensure the sources were in the shielded position. No unusual radiation reading has been noted. The regional RSO secured the gauge in the transport container and it was transported back to the licensee's office for storage with 15 other Moisture Density Gauges. The RSO contacted MJW Technical Services for disposal of the damaged unit. The RSO of University of Buffalo has been notified. This event is not a reportable event since the sources were in their shielded positions at the time of the incident. This event report is for informational purposes only. NYDOH - 15 - 05
