| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Troxler Gauge |
| Event Description | The State provided the following information via email:
At approximately 8:00 AM November 7, 2005, the Agency was informed that the Licensee had a pickup truck stolen with a Troxler Model 3430 gauge, SN 28101. The theft occurred at approximately 11:00 PM November 4, 2005. The truck is a silver 2002 Nissan. The Troxler gauge was locked in a 16 gauge steel box with a hardened and anti-theft designed lock and hasp. The steel box is bolted to the frame of the truck. The truck license number is Arizona 997MWT. The gauge contains 8 mCi of Cesium-137 and 40 mCi Am:Be-241. Mesa PD is investigating and has issued report number 2005-308-1094 The Licensee is offering a $500.00 reward for the recovery of the truck and sources. A press release is to be made. The Agency continues to look for the 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. 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. |
