| Event Description | The State provided the following information via email:
At 0830 on July 18, 2005, [NAME DELETED], RSO for the licensee called to report that two model MC-3 gauges (each containing nominally 10 mCi of Cs-137 and 50 mCi of Am-241) were stolen from the secured temporary job storage site in Yucaipa, CA . There were three gauges at this site, but the model MC-1 gauge (an older gauge) was not taken. The licensee last saw these gauges when the job-site was shut down for the weekend, approximately 1700 on July 15, 2005. This morning [07/18/05], in preparation for returning to work, it was noted that two gauges were missing at approximately 0630-0700 hours [PDT]. The RSO is in transit to the job-site, to meet the local police, and will provide more details as he gets them. The licensee intends to post a reward in the Press-Enterprise newspaper in the Riverside area. State 5010 Report No.: 071805
The State provided the following information via email: The window in which the gauges were stolen was 7/16-18/05 instead of 7/15-18/05 as indicated on our form. Also, we have been informed that there was other construction equipment stolen in addition to the two gauges. We have been informed in the past by law enforcement in the area that there is a ring who apparently raids construction sites stealing construction materials for resale in Mexico. Don't know if this is the situation in this case. Notified R4 DO (L. Smith), NMSS EO (Dan Gillen), TAS and Mexico CNSNS (email) |
