Title	Damaged Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	While in use on a job site with the source extended, a Troxler Model 3430 moisture density gauge was damaged by a skid loader. The source was able to be retracted into the shielded area of the gauge but the shield cannot be closed due to damage to the bottom shield plate. The licensee has established a 15 foot radius boundary per their emergency procedure and will be obtaining a survey meter to verify radiation levels at the boundary. The licensee will be getting local assistance to secure the source for transportation back to their storage facility. A Troxler Model 3430 normally contains a 44 mCi Am-241/Be source and a 9 mCi Cs-137 source.
