1. A nuclear gauge comprising:

  • a gauge housing including a vertical cavity and a base;

    a radiation detector located within the gauge housing and adjacent to the base of the gauge housing;

    a vertically movable source rod extending into the vertical cavity of the gauge housing;

    a radiation source carried by a distal end of the source rod;

    a computing system located within the gauge housing;

    a first user interface mounted on the gauge housing and in communication with the computing system, wherein the first user interface comprises a keypad;

    a handle coupled to the source rod;

    a support member connected to the gauge housing, the support member defining at least one routing compartment;

    electrical wiring extending along the routing compartment; and

    a second user interface mounted on the support member, the second user interface comprising a switch for initiating a gauge measurement, wherein the switch is in electrical communication with the computing system by way of the electrical wiring.
