AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - PORTABLE MOISTURE/DENSITY GAUGE DAMAGED

The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia via email:

"On June 30, 2015 at about 1400 EDT, the Virginia Radioactive Material Program (VRMP) received a telephone report from the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) that a moisture/density gauge was damaged. While performing testing at a temporary jobsite in Manassas, the moisture/density gauge (CPN, Model: MC1, Serial # MD90104762, Cs-137 (9 mCi), Am-241 (44 mCi)), was hit by the subcontractor's equipment at the project site and resulted in damage to the control rod. The RSO stated that the sources were in the shielded position and the shielding integrity was not damaged. A survey of the gauge was performed by the licensee and reading observed was 2 mrem/hr on contact. The gauge was packaged and returned to the office where a wipe test was taken and the analysis will be performed by the manufacturer/distributor. There was no public health and safety threat from this incident. VRMP will review the licensee's report for corrective actions.
