| Event Description | The following is a summary of information that was provided by the licensee via phone:
On 6/19/2025, at approximately 1645 EDT, a CPN International MC3 Elite moisture density gauge containing approximately 10 mCi of Cs-137 and 50 mCi of Am-241:Be was stolen from the back of a worker's truck while they were in a store. The moisture density gauge was in its case and the case was locked to the truck; both the case and gauge were missing when the worker discovered the gauge was stolen. The worker notified the police and licensee management of the stolen gauge. 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.
