| Title | Damaged Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of Ohio via email:
The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) received a call on November 14, 2022, concerning a Troxler model 3241-C gauge [100 mCi Am-Be source], that was damaged in a fire at a job site in Wellston (Jackson County). The gauge was stored in a trailer at a temporary asphalt plant. The plant closed last week for the winter and the gauge was going to be removed this week. The fire destroyed the trailer and melted the plastic outer shell of the device. An ODH inspector responded to the site. The source was located under the remains of the trailer but is buried in the ashes from the trailer. The highest dose rate detected was 7mR/hr which indicates that the source is shielded by the lead in the device. A licensed service provider will be on site on November 15, 2022, to retrieve the source and transport it for disposal. The licensee will provide security at the site until the source is removed.
