| Title | |
| Event Description | A Campbell Pacific Nuclear portable moisture density gauge Model MC-3, Serial Number MC 39058846 was stolen from the licensee's storage trailer. The gauge contains a cesium-americium-beryllium radioactive source (10 millicuries Cs-137 and 50 millicuries Am-241/Be). The licensee's trailer containing the stolen gauge was located at a Home Depot construction site, 1801 Custer Ave, Helena, MT 59601. Helena City police is investigating this and other thefts that occurred overnight at several trailers located at this same site.
The licensee contacted Region IV (M. Shaffer) and will contact the Montana Department of Health.
The licensee was contacted by another company which also uses moisture density gauges to inform them they had in their possession the stolen gauge. The individual that had the device spotted it for sale on the street in Los Angeles CA for $20 and bought it. The devise appeared to be in good shape but has been taken to a local gauge service company where it will be checked out before it is returned to the original licensee. Notified Reg 4 RDO (Whitten) and NMSS EO(Reamer) |
