| Title | |
| Event Description | An employee of GeoTest notified his company that a moisture density gauge was stolen from his job site in Jefferson County, MO. The gauge is a Troxler (Model 3440, S/N 36277) with 40 millicuries of Am-241/Be and 8 millicuries of Cs-137. The employee had the gauge locked inside a cabinet that was inside a locked trailer at the job site. The licensee notified the LLEA (Police Dept in Herculaneum, MO) and they are investigating the incident. The licensee is not expecting any media attention, and is not offering a reward.
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. |
