Title	Agreement State Report Involving a Stolen Nuclear Density Gauge
Event Description	The following information was received via facsimile: At approximately 6:20 PM February 8, 2006, the Agency was informed that the Licensee had lost a Nuclear Density Gauge from the back of a pickup truck, while working in the area of Southern and Cortez Roads in Apache Junction, Arizona. The missing gauge is a CPN Model MC-3 gauge, SN M37037422. The disappearance occurred between 1 PM and 2 PM on February 8, 2006. The gauge contains 8 mCi of Cesium-137 and 40 mCi Am:Be-241. The Licensee is offering a $500.00 reward for the recovery of the sources. A press release is to be made. Please contact Alf Wold, Operations Manager for Alpha Geotechnical. The Agency continues to investigate. The states of CA, NV, CO, UT, and NM and Mexico and U.S. NRC and FBI are being notified of this event. Arizona First Notice: 05-11 THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 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.
