| Title | Damaged Troxler Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was obtained from the Arkansas Department of Health (the Department) via email:
The Agreement State Radioactive Materials Licensee immediately reported to the State of Arkansas, Arkansas Department of Health, at 0930 CDT on August 16, 2021, that a Troxler 3430 (Device SN: 22686; Cs-137 SN: 75-4448; Am-241/Be SN: 47-18528) portable gauge fell off a truck in Maumelle, Arkansas, and the gauge was lost. At 0955 CDT hours on August 16, 2021, a Member of the Public notified the Agreement State Radioactive Materials Program that the Troxler 3430 gauge was found on the road and is being held in the bed of pick-up truck at a local gas station. The Agreement State Radioactive Materials Program personnel and Agreement State Radioactive Materials Licensee met with said Member of the Public for exchange to licensee. The found Troxler 3430 had minor damage by screws being exposed on bottom of the gauge. The sealed sources and gauge appear to remain intact during the Department's inspection. Exposure surveys were performed by the Department with the surface of portable gauge reading 2.5 mR/hr maximum. Leak tests were performed by the Radiation Safety Officer during the Department's event response and inspection. Pending outcome of the leak tests by the licensee, it is not expected that the Member of the Public will exceed the dose limits for Individual Members of the Public. The Member of the Public stated he/she only picked-up the gauge to place into the bed of truck. Arkansas State Event Report ID Number: AR-2021-006 |
