| Title | Lost Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Utah Division of Radiation Control (the Department) via email:
On July 3, 2024, a technician for American Testing Services, Inc. (ATS), completed a job at a temporary jobsite. They placed the gauge on the tailgate while they completed the paperwork. Then, they left the jobsite but failed to put the gauge in the transportation box and secure the gauge for transport. Reportedly, the gauge was in the shielded position when on the tailgate. It is unknown if was locked in the safe position or not. The technician drove away from the site and made a stop down the road. When they left that location, they noticed that the gauge and the transportation case were no longer on the vehicle, but the chains were still on the truck. They retraced the route but did not find the gauge. Afterwards, the technician reported the gauge missing to the radiation safety officer (RSO). The RSO reported the incident to the Department. The only information given at that time was that a gauge was lost. There was no information regarding where the incident occurred, what isotopes and activity were involved, information regarding what happened, etc. The RSO was informed to get more information regarding the details for the incident and provide the information to the Department as soon as possible."
