On September 5, 2020, The Agency was notified by the licensee's site radiation safety officer (SRSO) that a Humboldt EZ 5001 moisture/density gauge was damaged at a temporary job site when a bulldozer struck the gauge. The gauge contains a 40 milliCurie americium-241 source and a 10 milliCurie cesium-137 source. The cesium source was in the shielded position when the event occurred. The operating rod was bent, and the SRSO stated he did not believe the cesium source rod would move. The SRSO stated they performed radiation surveys around the gauge and the highest reading they obtained was 1.3 millirem per hour, which is a normal reading. The SRSO stated they were taking the gauge back to their storage location and would perform a leak test of the gauge. The event did not present an exposure risk to any individual. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. | On September 5, 2020, The Agency was notified by the licensee's site radiation safety officer (SRSO) that a Humboldt EZ 5001 moisture/density gauge was damaged at a temporary job site when a bulldozer struck the gauge.
