Title	Agreement State Repot - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia by email: On October 20, 2018, the representative of the Virginia Radioactive Materials Program (VRMP) received a telephone call from the licensee that the guide tube of a portable nuclear moisture/density gauge (CPN Model MC-1DRP, Serial number MD50507856) was damaged (bent) by a truck while performing testing at a temporary jobsite in Sterling, Virginia. The gauge contained 10 milliCuries of Cesium-137 and 50 milliCuries of Americium-241/Beryllium. The sources were in the shielded position and the shielding integrity was not damaged. The licensee performed a survey of the gauge and readings observed were between 0.2 and 0.3 mR/hr at three (3) feet distance from the gauge. The gauge was put in its transport box and returned to the office. Wipe test samples were taken. Samples were sent to the North East Technical Services for analysis. Results are pending. The VRMP is currently working with the licensee to obtain additional information. This report will be updated when VRMP receives more information. VA Event Report ID No.: VA-18-006
