Title	Stolen Chemical Agent Monitors
Event Description	The US Army in Warren, Michigan, reported that 3 improved chemical agent monitors were stolen from a storage facility at Fort Bragg, NC. Each of the 3 detectors contained a sealed 15 mCi Ni-63 source. The detectors were stored in building N-5342 and the locks on the building, storage area, and storage locker were damaged. The Fort Bragg Criminal Investigation Unit is conducting an investigation. The US Army has also notified NRC Region 3. 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.
