| Title | Agreement State Report - Damaged Troxler Gauge |
| Event Description | Received report via email:
On November 8, 2007, the licensee left a voice-mail message stating a moisture density gauge (Troxler Model 3430, S/N 29865), with a nominal 8 mCi of Cs-137 and 40 mCi of Am-241, had been run over the night before at a construction site. The cesium source was originally reported to be locked in its shielded position, although it was later discovered that the source was shielded, but not lockable. The electronics were severely damaged. While the gauge was being used at the construction site, the user stepped away, and the gauge was run over by a piece of heavy machinery.
