Qal-Tek Associates, LLC reported that a TrQal-Tek Associates, LLC reported that a Troxler Model 3450 Moisture/Density Gauge (Serial # 355) was lost in transit by the shipper. The device was being shipped from the owner, Simon Contracting in North Platte, NE, to Qal-Tek for repair. The device contains 8mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am/Be. </br>This is the same incident as NRC Event # 50619.</br>* * * UPDATE ON 11/17/14 AT 1703 EST FROM GLENN SAWTELLE TO DONG PARK * * *</br>The following was received from the licensee via email:</br>The event 50615 initiated last Friday, November 14th has been resolved. The shipping company YRC Freight notified Qal-Tek Associates and Simon Consultants today, November 17th, that the Troxler nuclear density gauge reported 'lost' in this event was located in a YRC Hazardous Materials storage trailer. Apparently, the shipping information had separated from the device case. The NDG (Nuclear Density Gauge) was not damaged in any way and has all other Radioactive Materials labels intact. The NDG will be shipped to the Qal-Tek office in Idaho Falls, ID, for previously anticipated service.
