AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MOISTURE/DENSITY GAUGE DAMAGED AT A TEMPORARY JOBSITE
The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia via email:
"While performing testing at a temporary jobsite in Alexandria [VA], the portable moisture/density gauge (CPN MC1DR, Serial # MD40907569) was run over by a bulldozer. 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 readings observed were between 1 and 2 mrem/hr on contact. The gauge was packaged and returned to the office where a wipe test was taken and the analysis was performed by the manufacturer/distributor with results showing no contamination. The gauge is being returned to the manufacturer/distributor. The VRMP [Virginia Radioactive Materials Program] is reviewing the licensee's report and corrective actions."
The gauge contains two (2) sources; 50 mCi Am-241/Be and 10 mCi Cs-137.
