Title	Loss of Control
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control [the Bureau] via email: On October 4, 2023, a gamma density gauge (DensityPro Gamma Density System, Model Number 5201A, 20 mCi Cs-137) was discovered in a rejected load of scrap metal at NuCor Steel. The Bureau inspector took custody of the gauge and transported it to Orlando. Upon further cleaning, the description plate revealed a serial and model number. The gauge was determined to belong to James Hardie Building Products (licensee). The licensee will be contacted and further corrective actions will be referred to the materials group at the Bureau. Florida Incident number - FL23-152 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.
