The event appears to have occurred on 06/02/16 according to past utilization logs. The Troxler Model 3430 portable gauge has been stored at the licensee's facility within a locked cabinet. Survey results using a NDS ND-2000A survey instrument around the surface of the gauge indicated readings as high as 12 mR/hr. Survey results using a Ludlum 14-C survey instrument around the surface of the gauge indicated readings as high as 25 mR/hr. The gauge is secure within the licensee's storage area.
