Title	Agreement State Report - Damaged Troxler Gauge
Event Description	The following was received from the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health via email: During a routine radioactive materials inspection of GEOServices LLC, a Tennessee Division of Radiological Health inspector found a portable moisture/density gauge, Troxler model 3401-B, containing Cs-137 (8 mCi) and Am-241/Be (40 mCi) that had been struck by a tractor at a construction site located somewhere in Knox County TN. The accident occurred in the month of December 2010. The RSO of GEOServices did not contact DRH about the accident. The RSO did not perform any surveys on the damaged moisture/density gauge. The RSO packaged the damaged moisture/density gauge and returned it to GEOServices' licensed storage location. Once the device was discovered by Tennessee Div. of Radiological Health, surveys were performed. Surveys indicated that the sources were not damaged and were not leaking. The device was packaged by the RSO and returned to Troxler for disposal." Tennessee Incident Number: TN-14-110
