| Title | |
| Event Description | At approximately 1530 ET on 08/10/04, a Troxler density gauge (Model # 3440, S/N 35192, 8 milliCuries Cs-137 and 40 milliCuries Am-241/Be) was run over by a compactor at a construction site in Upper Chichester, PA. The gauge source rod was bent, preventing retraction of the source point into its shield. The licensee secured the area and performed radiation surveys. No external contamination was found. The licensee has contacted Troxler who will send a shipping container for returning the gauge for repair. In the interim, the licensee plans on transporting the gauge to their facility in East Norton, PA. Established a conference with NMSS (D. Gillen) and Region 1 (E. Ulrich) who provided advice to the licensee on transporting the gauge. |
