| ENS 42845 | 18 September 2006 16:36:00 | The licensee reported that a Troxler Model 3430 nuclear density gauge was damaged at a work site when a road grader backed over the device. The gauge operator was present but was unable to stop the grader. The source was in the shielded position when the accident occurred and appears to be undamaged. A survey shows no contamination or unusual radiation levels. A leak test is in progress and the licensee plans to ship the gauge back to Troxler for repairs. |
| ENS 40790 | 3 June 2004 19:52:00 | A pickup truck used by the licensee during inspection services loaded with a Troxler gauge was involved in an accident. The pickup truck hit a tree and its top came loose, along with its contents, landing in an area away from the pickup. A Troxler gauge, inside its storage box, was one of the items tossed out of the pickup truck. The pickup truck caught on fire after the accident. The technician was injured during the accident and was subsequently taken to a local hospital in Springport, MI. The burnt pickup truck was hauled away to a storage place along with the top with its contents. The Troxler gauge is inside its storage box and does not appear to be damaged. The gauge is a Troxler Model 3430, S/N 75-6542, 8 millicuries Cs-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241/Be. The licensee's Radiation Safety Officer intends to retrieve the gauge, perform a leak test and return the gauge to the manufacturer. The licensee was requested to call the Operations Center with an update of the leak test results. |
