Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia by email: On October 22, 2018, the RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] for the licensee reported an accident that morning at a construction site near Sterling, Virginia. A roller hit a portable moisture/density gauge with its rear wheels while backing up. The gauge user established an exclusionary area until the RSO arrived to perform an onsite investigation and radiation survey. The RSO reported the plastic housing of the gauge was cracked but the source rod and shielding were intact. Surveys indicated no unusual radiation levels. The licensee contacted a vendor to analyze leak test samples and to determine potential repairs to the gauge. The gauge was a Troxler 3430, serial [number] 30198, with an 8 milliCurie Cs-137 source, serial [number] 750-2497, and a 40 milliCurie Am-241:Be source, serial [number] 47-27175.
