| Event Description | At 4:07 p.m. Gary Brunson of the Alabama Department of Transportation called and reported that a Campbell Pacific gauge, Model MC3, Serial # M32076686 had been discovered stolen from their Guntersville, Alabama Project Office at approximately 6:30 this morning, Thursday, June 3, 2004. Brunson stated the device contained approximately 10 mCi of Cs-137 and 50 mCi of Am-241/Be.
Brunson further stated he had delayed notifying the Agency until he had a copy of the police report from the Guntersville Police Department, who had investigated the theft. Someone had apparently climbed the fence, then broke into the testing lab building and took a nuclear density gauge and an air flow meter. A Troxler Model 4640 nuclear gauge was sitting beside the Campbell Pacific gauge but was not taken. Because both an air gauge and a density gauge were taken, Mr. Brunson believes the thief was taking something to sell and not taking something from which a radioactive source could be removed, or else they would have taken both nuclear gauges. Mr. Brunson agreed that if the device is not located by mid morning tomorrow, Friday, June 4, 2004, that he would work with the Agency to distribute an information notice on the missing device to area law enforcement agencies.
