| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen and Recovered Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received from the State of Texas via email:
On May 1, 2015 the licensee's corporate office notified the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] that one of its vehicles had been stolen at 10 am today with a moisture density gauge secured on the back of the truck. The gauge was a Troxler 4640 with an 8 millicurie Cesium-137 and 40 millicurie Americium/Beryllium source in the gauge. The truck was stolen at a gas station and local police were immediately called by the driver/technician. The police recovered the vehicle with the gauge still secured in the back of the truck. Details of the event will be provided as the local radiation safety officer and technician are still on-site with the police. Additional information will be provided in accordance with SAE 300. Texas Incident # I-9309 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.
