The following report was received via e-ma … The following report was received via e-mail:</br>On April 16, 2019, the licensee notified the Agency that one of its Humboldt model 5001-C moisture/density gauges (SN: 2076), containing 40 milliCuries americium-241/beryllium (SN: 47-6041) and 10 milliCuries of cesium-137 (SN: 40-6862), had been run over and damaged by a dump truck at a temporary job site in Danbury, Texas. While a density test was being performed and the cesium source was extended into the ground, a dump truck backed up into the test area. The technician had to jump out of the way. The truck tire ran over and shattered the housing on one side of the gauge. The source was retracted, with some difficulty, into its shielded position. Radiation surveys indicated the shielding was intact. However, the technician reported that the source rod could be pulled completely out of the top of the housing. With the source in the normal shielded position, the gauge was placed inside its transport case and returned to the licensee's facility. The licensee is making arrangements for repair/disposal. There were no exposures as a result of this event. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300.</br>Texas Incident: 9675cordance with SA-300.
