| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Troxler Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of Texas via email:
A representative of the licensee called [the Texas Department of State Health Services] and stated that two weeks ago a Troxler 3430 (sn 24971) had gone missing. He [the licensee] could not find it after calling his service companies and employees. He further said that the serial numbers for the sources are 75-3877 and 47-17874. He does not know what the activity of these sources is. He says that he will begin a written report. Further information will be provided in accordance with SA300 guidelines. The licensee notified the Houston Police Department (report #0496748-15). Texas Incident #: I-9312 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.
