ENS 42695 | 10 July 2006 10:23:00 | A Troxler Model 4640B moisture density gauge was damaged when it was run over by an asphalt roller at a construction site located approximately 150 feet south of the intersection of Route 10 (Morgantown Road) and Upland Avenue in Reading, PA. A perimeter has been established around the gauge and the licensee's RSO has been notified and is enroute to the site. The gauge contains a Cs-137 source with a 8 millicurie activity level. Subsequent discussions with a Berks County Emergency Management official indicates that radiation levels are normal and that the source is intact inside the gauge. Berks County Emergency Management is awaiting authorization from PEMA to remove the gauge from the earth and perform surveys underneath the gauge. |
