| Title | Damaged Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following is a synopsis of information provided by the licensee via phone call:
At about 0830 CST, 02/12/24, a Troxler Density Gauge was damaged by a bulldozer at a construction site in Kansas City, MO near the corner of 101st Street & Lister Road. The rod was broken off, but the sources were shielded and appeared to be intact and undamaged. Testing samples for leakage were taken and results are pending. Source information: Serial Number 77-18042,cesium (Cs-137), 8 mCi (0.306 GBq). Serial Number 78-13106, americium-beryllium (Am-241Be), 40 mCi (1.48 GBq). THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
