| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Portable Alloy Analyzer |
| Event Description | The licensee provided the following information via email:
On 09/21/05 while preparing for Hurricane Rita, the owner's truck was stolen from in front of his office in Houston, Texas, 77087. Since his office is a trailer, the owner thought it best to put his Niton Alloy Analyzer [6 millicuries Cd-109 s/n U1238 NR5498] in his truck to bring home in case his office was destroyed by the hurricane. Houston law enforcement was notified as soon as owner discovered the truck missing. His truck was recovered 10/13/05, but the analyzer was not. Texas Incident No: I-8273 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. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are 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. |
