AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DAMAGED MOISTURE/DENSITY GAUGE
The following information was received via facsimile:
"On October 6, 2016, at approximately 0200 EDT, a loader backed over the licensee's portable gauge during work in Fairfax County, Virginia. The gauge was a Troxler Model 3400, s/n 31366, with an 8 millicurie cesium-137 source, s/n 750-6052, and a 40 millicurie americium-241:Be source, s/n 47-28023. The operator secured the gauge and cordoned the accident area. Radiation surveys by the licensee's Radiation Safety Officer confirmed the sources were in their shielded positions and that no contamination resulted from the accident. The damaged gauge has been shipped to a licensed service provider for repair."
