| Title | Damaged Troxler Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | On Wednesday, 10/19/05 at approximately 14:30 hours, a technician left a Troxler Model 3440 moisture/density gauge (S/N 21953) in an area where a pickup truck eventually ran over it. The location of the incident was at 275 So. Main Street in Meridian, ID. The RSO conducted a visual examination and noted that the source rod had remained inside the gauge in the shielded position. A survey meter checked the damaged gauge for radiation levels, and it read <1.2 mR/Hr. The radionuclides for the source are 40 milliCuries of Am-241/Be and 8 milliCuries of Cs-137. The Corporate RSO was called and informed of the incident. The gauge is being transported back to Troxler in Rancho Cordova, CA. for repair. |
