Title	Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge
Event Description	The following was received via email: This morning, the Columbus, GA Police Department was dispatched to the Building and Earth Sciences business located at 5045 Millgen Court in Columbus. It was reported that unknown person(s) had stolen a Model 3440 Nuclear Density Gauge Serial Number 22740. The gauge had been locked and secured in the back of a truck in the facility and the individual(s) had taken bolt cutters and cut the chains securing the device. No further information is available at this time. The stolen gauge contains approximately 8 mCi of Cesium-137 and 40 mCi of Americium-241. A regional law enforcement bulletin was issued and the Columbus, GA and Atlanta, GA FBI field offices were notified. 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.
