Title	Lost/Stolen U.S. Army Radioactive Chemical Alarms
Event Description	On July 13, 2016, the U.S. Army TACOM Radiation Safety Program Manager in Warren, MI was notified of a misplaced U.S. Army chemical alarm containing 250 microcuries of Am-241 from a U.S. National Guard Unit in North Carolina. The chemical alarm was misplaced on April 21. Since the material has not been recovered, the U.S. Army considers the material lost/stolen. 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.
