| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Maryland Department of the Environment via telephone:
On 6/26/23 at 1116 EDT, the licensee was working at Howard University in Washington, D.C. when a Niton XLp 300 (lead base paint analyzer containing a maximum of 50 mCi of Cd-109) was stolen out of a vehicle. The Howard University and Washington, D.C. police were notified of the vehicle break in. 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.
