| Event Description | The following is a summary of information received from the New Jersey Department Environmental Protection (NJDEP) by e-mail:
On 4/27/2022, North State Materials notified NJDEP that an asphalt roller bumped a density gauge (Troxler model 4640-B, serial #77923 with a Cs-137 source up to 9 milliCuries) at a jobsite in Harmony, New Jersey. The incident was caused by heavy equipment operator error. The operator intended to move the roller backwards, but instead moved forward. The damage was limited to the faceplate and the plastic on one corner of the gauge. The licensee surveyed the gauge to confirm the source was properly shielded prior to transporting it to the licensee's storage location in Philipsburg, NJ. A sealed source leak test is pending. NJ Incident Number: NJ-22-0003 |
