Title	NON-AGREEMENT State Report - Stolen Gauge
Event Description	The following is a synopsis of information received via telephone: A portable nuclear density gauge was stolen from the bed of a pickup truck parked at a hotel in Hurricane Creek, WV. The chain securing the gauge had been cut. The licensee notified the Putnam County sheriff's office who indicated other thefts had occurred in the area. The licensee indicated that the theft occurred within a day of discovery. Gauge Information: Make: Troxler Model number: 3430 Sources (nominal): 8 mCi of Cs-137 and 40 mCi of Am-241:Be. Serial number: 65490 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.
