Title	Lost/Stolen Portable Gauge
Event Description	The State provided the following information via facsimile: The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified on September 6, 2005, by the licensee, that a portable gauging device had been lost or stolen from a Forest Drive work site in Columbia, South Carolina. The technician stated he may have inadvertently left the gauge at the Forest Drive work site as he traveled to a second work site. When the technician returned to the Forest Drive location the gauge was missing. The licensee is in the process of notifying the police. The gauge is a CPN International, Inc. model MC series Portaprobe serial number M350702733 containing 10 mCi [milliCuries] of cesium-137 and 50 mCi of Am-241:Be. Updates to this event will be made through the national NMED system. South Carolina Report ID: SC050006 A police report was filed. Source is less than the quantity of an IAEA Category 3 source. Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. For some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are IAEA Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
