Title	Stolen Nuclear Gauge Containing 40 Millicuries Cadmium 109
Event Description	The gauge was stolen from a locked company truck along with other tools parked at the place of business sometime between 1800 on 6/29/11 and 0755 on 6/30/11. The device is a Niton machine built by Thermo-Fisher Scientific XRF Model 300 S/N U2349 used for measuring the quantity of lead in lead based paint. The source serial number is NR-1176 and contains 40 milliCuries of Cd-109. This is generally licensed material. 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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf 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
