| Title | Agreement State Report - Troxler Gauge Damaged By Heavy Equipment At Construction Site |
| Event Description | An in-use Troxler gauge was damaged at a construction site on US 83 near Garden City, KS. The gauge, a Troxler model 3430, S/N 28271, contains a 0.3 GBq [8 mCi] Cs-137 source and a 1.48 GBq [40 mCi] Am-241/Be source. The Cs-137 source rod was extended at the time of the incident and could not be withdrawn into the shielded volume. Rad surveys on-site confirmed that both sources were intact [No contamination at the jobsite]. The gauge was returned to its case and temporary shielding used to prevent personnel exposure during transport back to the licensee's Ellsworth Office. The licensee will return the gauge to the manufacturer for disposition.
