| Title | |
| Event Description | A model 3401 Troxler moisture density gauge was stolen when the 2001 burgundy Ford van it was stored in was stolen while parked at Omego Restaurant, 22501 Eight Mile Road, Detroit, MI. The gauge contains 8 millicuries of Cs-137 and 40 millicuries of Am-241. The gauge was properly stored in its transport case and was chained to the floor in the back of the van. The Detroit police have been notified and have begun their investigation (Report # OCA0805170176).
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. This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source |
