Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Troxler Density Gauge
Event Description	At around 1:50 p.m. EDT, [the radiation safety officer] of Meskel Associates called to notify the BRC [Bureau of Radiation Control] of the loss of a Troxler Soil Moisture Density Gauge Model 3440 S/N 17405, source numbers 507-6784 & 47-12827. The gauge fell off of the back of a pickup truck because the tailgate was down and the gauge was not secured. No injuries were reported, the licensee checked with FHP for collision reports. Five people from the licensee looked for it, none found it. Florida Incident Number FL19-046 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.
