| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Moisture/Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received from the State of Texas via email:
On July 3, 2014, the licensee notified the Agency [Texas Department of Health] that one of its technicians left the licensee's facility in Austin, Texas, to transport a Troxler Model 4640 moisture/density gauge containing an 8 milliCurie cesium-137 source to the licensee's facility in Buda, Texas. The technician failed to properly secure the gauge for transport. When the technician arrived in Buda, he found the tailgate on pickup was down and the gauge was missing. The licensee retraced the technician's route of travel and found a water jug that had also been in the back of the truck near the licensee's Austin facility, but the gauge was not located. The licensee reported that the device (source rod handle) was not locked. The licensee reported that there were no locks on the transport case lid. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300.
The following update was received by the State of Texas by email: Reporting criteria changed, as the only source in device (8 milliCurie cesium-137) is less than 1,000 times greater than Appendix C values and therefore does not meet 20.2201(a)(1)(i) immediate reporting criteria. The incident does meet 20.2201(a)(1)(ii) and further information will be provided in accordance with SA-300. Notified the R4DO (Kellar) and FSME Event Resource via email. Texas Incident # I-9211 |
