Title	Stolen Troxler Gauge
Event Description	On the morning of 5/7/07 the licensee noticed that a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge (Model 3430) was missing. The gauge was in the company truck the evening of 5/6/07. An employee of the company took the company truck home (Fayetteville, PA 17222) and sometime during the evening (after 22:00) a company cell phone and the gauge was taken from the truck. The sources in the Troxler gauge are Am-241/Be (40 mCi), and Cs-137 (8 mCi). The licensee filed a report with the PA State Police, (Incident # H03-1661925). 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.
