On September 23, 2014 the licensee informed the State of Texas that a moisture density gauge containing an AM, BE source had been lost off the back of a technician’s truck when its tailgate fell open “and the container holding the locked gauge fell off the truck.” Appropriate measures had not been taken to secure the device to the back of the truck. Following the initial report over the loss, on September 24, 2014 the licensee was contacted by a company that had discovered the gauge on the road, and the gauge was eventually returned to the licensee.
