| Event Description | On Wednesday, December 17, 2008 a Troxler moisture density gauge, Model 3430 (S/N 37875 with 8mCi of Cs-137 S/N 77-5152; and 40mCi of AmBe-241 S/N 78-2656) was stolen from the bed of a company pick-up truck along with some other field equipment. The transport case was chained as required by company procedures, but the entire case with gauge was noted missing when the technician briefly left the truck unattended. The chain had been cut and the theft was immediately reported to the Dallas Police Department. The area will be canvassed and dumpsters checked to see if the device had been inadvertently discarded. A reward will be posted through a notice that will be distributed to local authorities.
TX Case Number I-8591. 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. |
