Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Troxler Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following report was received from the Kansas Department of Health and Environmental Services via email: The gauge operator stepped approximately 15 feet away from the gauge to observe fill material being placed and a bulldozer backed over the gauge, clipping the corner of it. The gauge was not in use at the time and the source was not out. The only damage is to the yellow housing and a crack in the grey battery housing. The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] conducted radiological surveys using a SE International Radiation Alert Monitor 4 and obtained background readings only. The gauge will be returned to the office and put into secure storage until it can be returned to the manufacturer for repair. Follow-up information will be provided to NRC. The density gauge was a Troxler model 3430, serial number 25943, containing 333 MBq of Cs-137 and 1,628 GBq of Am-241/Be.
