Title	Stolen / Recovered Radioactive Material
Event Description	The following is a summary of a phone call with the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at Trijicon (licensee): On December 2, 2021, the RSO was contacted by the FBI regarding scrap bags of radioactive material discovered in a raid that belong to the licensee. The FBI sent the licensee pictures of the material. The licensee believes the combined scrap bags of radioactive material contains 100 Curies of Tritium. The dates on the bags are from 2012 to 2017. The RSO is unsure how long the scrap bags of material have been missing. The licensee notified the NRC Region III Office. 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.
