| Title | Agreement State Report - Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Stolen from Pickup Truck |
| Event Description | A Georgia Department of Transportation crew stopped for lunch at 1200 EDT on 08/28/14 at a Sam's Club in McDonough, GA. A Troxler Model 3430, S/N 31643, containing two sources: 10 mCi of Cs-137 and 40 mCi of Am241/Be, was stolen from the unattended vehicle. The Troxler was not properly secured as required. The State of Georgia is conducting an investigation into the incident.
The Henry County Police Department is investigating. 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.
