| Event Text CALIFORNIA AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DAMAGED MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The State provided the following information via facsimile:
"The licensee called Granada Hills office on 09/28/05 to report a damaged Humboldt moisture density gauge, Model 5001, S/N 1976, at a job site in Panorama City area in Los Angeles, CA. This information was forwarded to RHB-Berkeley on 09/29/05. According to the report provided by the RSO, the gauge was set off to the side of the area being tested while holes were being made for testing and during that time a 966 E rubber tire loader ran over the gauge. This caused the tip of the rod that contained the source to snap off. According to the RSO, he picked up the source rod tip with pliers and inserted it into the gauge shield. An aluminum rod was also placed into the hole to keep the source rod tip in place in the shielded area. A leak test was performed and the swabs were sent overnight for testing to Pacific Nuclear Technology. Licensee is awaiting for the leak test results. The licensee will be providing RHB with additional information."
Although not stated in the report, these gauges typically contain 40 millicuries of Am-241/Be and 10 millicuries of Cs-137.
