The sources were in the shielded position and the shielding integrity was not damaged.

The gauge was packaged and returned to the office where a wipe test was taken and the analysis was performed by the manufacturer/distributor with results showing no contamination. The gauge is being returned to the manufacturer/distributor. The VRMP (Virginia Radioactive Materials Program) is reviewing the licensee's report and corrective actions.
