| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The licensee's radiation safety officer, [deleted] called the [Illinois Emergency Management Agency Division of Nuclear Safety (IEMA-DNS)] to report that a vehicle used to transport a portable moisture density gauge had been stolen. [The licensee] indicated that a 2004 White Chevy Astro Van with license plate IL 43701F had been stolen from a jobsite at 820 South Damon Street, Chicago, IL at 11:00 hours this morning.
Chicago Police have been called to the scene to investigate and to alert them as to the situation." The Chicago Police has issued a 'be on the lookout' notice for the stolen vehicle. IEMA-DNS indicated that the licensee reported that the gauge was secured to the vehicle. The stolen gauge was a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Model 3430, Serial Number 23187. The gauge has 2 sealed sources a 8 millicurie Cs-137 source (s/n 75-9797) and a 40 millicurie Am-241/Be source (s/n 47-19015). 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. |
