| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture-Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Arizona by facsimile:
At approximately [0800 MST], November 20, 2015, the Agency [Arizona Radiation Regulatory Agency] was informed that the Licensee had a Campbell-Pacific Model MC-3, Serial Number MC310700331, portable moisture- density gauge stolen from a truck at an apartment parking lot. The theft occurred before [0500 MST], November 20, 2015. The gauge was the only thing stolen from the truck which had expensive tools in it. The sources were Cs-137, 10 millicuries and Am-241:Be, 50 millicuries. The Agency continues to investigate the event. The AZ Governor's Office, U.S. NRC, the States of CA, CO, NV, and NM are being notified of this event [by the Agency]." Arizona First Notice: 15-025 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.
