| Title | Abandoned Density Gauge |
| Event Description | A property owner called the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to report that he had found a CPN MC3 Porta- Probe gauge containing 10 mCi of Cs-137 abandoned at his property at Sand Point, ID. The gauge belongs to Inland Code Inspection & Consultation Services of Ponderay, ID.
Another NRC licensee licensed to possess this type of equipment has retrieved the gauge and stored it at their site.
The serial number for the gauge is M370103535. 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.
