The following information was obtained fro … The following information was obtained from the State of Mississippi via email:</br>On May 24, 2010 around 2:00 a.m. (CDT), a Portable Moisture Density gauge was run over by an asphalt roller. The casing of the gauge was damaged. DRH (Mississippi Division of Radiation Health) was notified and supplied with the following measures of radiation, 22 mR/hr at the surface of the damaged gauge and 0.75 mR/hr at approx. 3 feet from the gauge. DRH (was) informed that the gauge could be safely placed in a sealable carrying case. It was determined that the Cs-137 source was not returning to its fully shielded position. A DRH official went to the site the next morning with a small lead pig. The source holder was extended a few inches in order to tape the pig on the rod's end. The damaged gauge was then taken to MDOT (Mississippi Dept. of Transportation) storage site and a leak test was performed. The wipes were analyzed by the MSDH (Mississippi State Department of Health) Radiological Health Lab. The measured activity was well below the regulatory upper limit of .005 microCuries. Wipe analysis was received 5/26/2010.</br>Isotope(s): Cs-137, 8 mCi and Am-241:Be, 44 mCi. </br>Report No: MS-10004d Am-241:Be, 44 mCi.
