[The employee] noticed that the gauge was missing at approximately 0700 [EST]. [The employee] called [the SCDHEC] to report the theft of the material. He stated that the Charleston County Sheriff's Department had been notified and was handling the incident. [The SCDHEC notified] the S.C. Fusion Center of the incident.

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.
