| Title | Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Damaged |
| Event Description | A Troxler moisture density gauge (Model 3440) was damaged when it was struck by an asphalt roller. The source rod was out at the time of the incident but the source was able to be retracted into the shielded position.
The licensee's radiation safety officer surveyed the meter and found no abnormal radiation readings. The gauge was transported back to the licensee's facility for storage awaiting results of the swipe test. Once the swipe test results are returned, the licensee intends to ship the gauge to the vendor for repair or replacement. The gauge contains Am-241/Be and Cs-137 sources. No personnel overexposures occurred during this incident. |
