| Event Description | The State provided the following information via email:
A Moister density gauge ( Troxler 3440 - Ser # 19048) was stolen on 8/9/06 at about 1600 in El Paso Texas. The gauge was stolen from the storage area at the facility. There appears to be no signs of forced entry to the area. A Police report was filed. The EPPD was to coordinate with the jurisdictional police department to visit the prime suspect (former PSI employee) yesterday evening (8/9/06). Locks at the facility are being changed. The local scrap yards and the Texas Association of Pawnbrokers have been notified. The source information is 1 Cs-137 source serial # 50-8685 8 mCi, and AmBe serial # 4714512 40 mCi. The licensee will provide a written report as soon as all the information is gathered. Texas incident # I - 8354 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. |
