Title	Agreement State Report Involving Loss and Recovery of a Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following information is a summary of a report received via fax: On 2/24/06 the Texas Department of State Health Services was notified that a moisture density gauge was left in a motel room and later recovered still in its DOT shipping container. The cause of the incident is attributed to negligence on the part of the authorized user who has been subsequently terminated by the licensee. Local Police, FBI, and other States, as needed, were notified as well as San Antonio Police HazMat. There were no known personnel exposures involved. The license number, make, model and source content of the moisture density gauge were not available at the time of the report. Additional information will be submitted to NMED when available. TX Incident No. I-8310 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.
