| Title | Florida Agreement State Report of Missing Troxler Gauge |
| Event Description | The Florida Bureau of Radiation Control reported a missing Troxler moisture density gauge. The agreement state licensee, Burcaw Geotechnical Group, was using the gauge at a site located in Ruskin, Florida. The gauge overpack, which was thought to contain the gauge, was picked up at the end of the work day and placed into a truck. While in transit, the driver realized that he had not been verified the gauge was actually in the overpack. He checked the overpack and found it to be empty. He returned to the job site and conducted a search but could not locate the gauge.
The licensee informed the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control. The Bureau of Radiation Control requested the licensee to contact the police and report the gauge missing. The Troxler gauge (serial #34752) contained a 40 milliCurie Am-241/Be source and a 10 milliCurie Cs-137 source. |
