On March 7, 2014, the Agency [Texas Department of Health] was notified by the licensee that one of its vehicles had been stolen on February 18, 2014. The vehicle contained a moisture density gauge, Troxler model 3340, serial number 17909, containing 1.48 GBq of Americium-241/Beryllium serial number 4713350 and 0.30 GBq of Cesium-137 serial number 507394.

Any further information will be reported within SA 300 guidelines. Texas Incident #: I-9162 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.
