Title	Agreement State Report - Troxler Source Separated from Source Rod
Event Description	The following information was obtained from the State of New Jersey via facsimile: [The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection] was informed by a portable gauge licensee of a complete failure of their portable gauge source rod resulting in the sealed source (containing 8 mCi of Cs-137) dropping from the rod onto the ground. The incident occurred at Monmouth University this morning [2/1/16] at a construction site there. The loose source is in a concrete container and locked up at their licensed facility awaiting a lead pig sent overnight from Troxler. A survey has been conducted around the storage area to confirm that exposure there is below public dose limit. The licensee's initial report from the field suspected that the failure of the containment was due to the advanced age of the gauge - reported at 20 years. Event Report ID No.: NJ #16-02-01-1239-01
