The Troxler 3400 series portable moisture density gauge contains a maximum activity of 9 millicuries of Cs-137 and 44 millicuries of Am-241:Be. The licensee reported the source rod had been dislodged but had been successfully inserted back into the shielded position. A Department inspector was dispatched to the location on 11/18/22 and assisted the licensee in packing the damaged Troxler 3400 series device into the transport container. Dose rate readings using a ND-2000A survey instrument, calibrated 09/16/22 indicated readings as high as 30 mR/hr on the surface of the transport container and less than 1 mR/hr at 1 meter. | The Troxler 3400 series portable moisture density gauge contains a maximum activity of 9 millicuries of Cs-137 and 44 millicuries of Am-241:Be.
