| Title | Damaged Portable Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The licensee reported that a portable moisture density gauge was damaged, by a dump truck, during a road paving project in Glastonbury, CT. The gauge case and keypad were damaged however, the sources are in the stored/safe position. There is no indication of leakage and no radiation exposures have occurred. The licensee has stored the gauge in their secure location pending further evaluation. The gauge is an Instrotek Model 3500 gauge containing 11mCi Cs-137 and 44 mCi Am/Be sources.
Licensee called to correct initial report. The damaged gauge was actually a Troxler 3440, Serial number 18428 and not an Instrotek model 3500. Reported activity of sources remains the same. Notified R1DO (Burritt) and NMSS Events Notification Group via email. |
