Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Troxler Gauge Due to Truck Fire
Event Description	The following report was received from the Ohio Bureau of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection via email: The licensee [Professional Service Industries, Inc.] experienced a vehicle fire today (7/15/19) involving a Troxler 3430P gauge, S/N 70185, containing a double-encapsulated sealed source of Cs-137 (8 mCi [0.30 GBq]) plus a double-encapsulated sealed source of Am-241 (40 mCi [1.48 GBq]). The vehicle driver pulled over on the shoulder of the interstate when he noticed smoke [coming] from the bed of the truck. The licensee believes that the cause of the fire may have been as a result of vandalism that ruptured the fuel tank. The licensee reported that such activities have occurred in the past. No one was injured. After the fire was extinguished, the device was surveyed using a calibrated NDS Model ND-500A survey meter. The measured radiation levels of the device were 20 mR/hr at the surface, and 0.9 mR/hr at 1 meter, without the transport case. The device has been leak tested pending results and Troxler has been contacted for disposal. Item Number: OH190011
