On May 31, 2011 the Department [Wisconsin Radiation Protection Section] received notification via email from the licensee's RSO that the licensee had reported a portable nuclear gauge stolen from their storage location in Lodi, WI (Columbia County). The Department called the licensee for additional information on June 1, 2011. The gauge was a Seaman model R-50 roofing gauge containing a maximum of 40 mCi of Americium-241:Be. In the call the licensee stated that on May 1, 2011 they had discovered their storage location had been broken into, their security barriers to the gauge had been defeated, and their portable nuclear gauge had been removed from the premises. Law enforcement had been notified on May 1, 2011 and investigated the theft. The gauge was recovered on May 28, 2011 in Madison, WI and had already been returned to the licensee at the time this conversation took place. The Department performed a reactive inspection on June 1, 2011, and confirmed that the gauge was recovered in good condition and placed in secure storage. The Department is waiting for additional information regarding this theft from both the Madison Police Department and the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. |
