Event Description	The following was received from the Ohio Department of Health Bureau of Radiation Protection (ODH) via email: Cohen Brothers, scrap metal facility in Middletown, informed ODH on November 19, 2021, that they discovered two devices containing radioactive material at their facility. An ODH inspector responded and identified the devices as Industrial Dynamics Filtec 3-G devices, each containing a 100 mCi Am-241 sealed source. Dose rates on the devices were 30 microR/hr. No contamination was detected. The gauges are secured at Cohen Brothers pending proper disposal. ODH is working with Industrial Dynamics to determine the owner of the devices." The Filtec 3-G gauge serial numbers are 121015 and 121016. Ohio Item Number: OH2100010 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.
