Title	Agreement State - Troxler Gauge Stolen and Recovered in Texas
Event Description	The State provided the following information via facsimile: The gauge was unlocked in the company pickup truck. The technician was in the process of carrying the striker plate and drive rod into a below ground level test site, when he returned for the gauge it was missing. The technician reported the missing gauge to his company, Paris Texas Police Department and Paris Fire Department. The gauge was found in a parking lot the next morning by law enforcement. The gauge was a model # 3440 (serial # 27497) containing a Cs-137 nominal 8 mCi (source # 7501281) and an Am-241/Be source with nominal 40 mCi (serial # 47-23993). This event information was found as part of a review of all reports received from April 2005 till February 12, 2006 by this department. Texas Report No. I-8286 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.
