16. Location(s) Inspected List:
Job Site: M-20 at Currie Road, Midland, MI
17. Scope and Observations:
Prein & Newhof, a civil engineering firm based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was authorized to store portable moisture
density gauges containing byproduct material at four offices in Michigan and to use them for measuring the physical
properties of construction materials at temporary job sites in NRC jurisdiction. The scope of this inspection was
limited to observations of licensed activities at a road construction project on M-20 outside of Midland, Michigan.
While en-route to other duties, the inspector noticed two individuals standing next to a portable moisture density
gauge on the shoulder of M-20. The inspector stopped and observed the individuals standardizing the gauge in
preparation for testing, maintaining control and constant surveillance of the device throughout. The inspector met
with the individuals to discuss safety and regulatory topics and to evaluate their equipment prior to its use for
compaction testing later in the day. Both were knowledgeable of radiation protection principles, gauge operation, and
licensee procedures. Their gauge, a Troxler 3400 series (s/n 31950) and its transport case were in good condition;
the case was also adequately marked and labeled and blocked and braced for transport with two barriers (two lid
locks and two locking case chains). Independent surveys of the gauge were consistent with radiation profiles in the
applicable SSDR safety evaluation (NC-646-D-830-S). Shipping papers, emergency response information, current
leak test results for the gauge, and a copy of the licensee's emergency procedures were available within arm's reach
of the driver's seat in their vehicle.
No violations of NRC requirements were identified as a result of this inspection.
