AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DAMAGED TROXLER GAUGE
The following information was provided by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection via email:
"On 10/14/2022, Soils Engineering Services Inc (SESI) notified New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) that a moisture/density gauge (Troxler model 3430, serial number 22602 containing 9 mCi Cs-137 and 44 mCiAm-241/Be) was run over by a pickup truck at a jobsite in Bayonne, New Jersey. The case was crushed. The source was shielded when the gauge was run over. The licensee surveyed the gauge to confirm the source was properly shielded prior to transporting it to the licensee's storage location in Parsippany, NJ. A sealed source leak test is pending. The cause and corrective actions were equipment operator error. There was no release."
