Title	Agreement State - Lost Then Found Nuclear Density Gauge
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection (DEP): On September 19, 2023, a licensee vehicle was involved in an automobile accident during which a nuclear density gauge ejected from the vehicle. State Police recovered the device. The licensee reported to the scene and recovered the device. There was no damage to the gauge itself. The only damage incurred was to the transportation box. The side handle was ripped off as a result of the accident. The DEP has been in contact with the licensee and will update this event as soon as more information is provided. Troxler Model Number: 3440 Serial Number: 35195 Cesium 137, 9 millicuries; Americium 241:Be, 44 millicuries Pennsylvania Report Number: PA230025 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.
