| Event Description | The licensee reported that a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Model 3430, S/N 23648, was stolen. The gauge contains 8 mCuries Cs-137, 40mCuries Am-241/Be. The gauge was secured in a Toyota Tacoma Pickup Truck, New Jersey Tag # KV128K parked in front of the employees residence at 77 Williams Avenue in Jersey City , New Jersey. When the employee went to the vehicle this morning, he noticed the vehicle had been stolen. The employee reported it to the Jersey City Police Department (Case #17076-08). The company is requesting assistance from LLEA to aid in recovery of the vehicle and gauge.
The LLEA recovered the gauge and vehicle this morning and placed two individuals under arrest as suspects in the theft. The licensee has custody of the gauge and it appears to be intact with no damage. It will be sent off for formal leak testing/inspection. The licensee has notified Region I (J.Joustra). Notified R1DO(Henderson), FSME(Zelac), and ILTAB via e-mail. 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. |
