| Event Description | The following is a summary of information provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) via email:
On February 2, 2026, the licensee's radiation safety officer reported a Troxler model 3440 moisture density gauge (8 mCi Cs-137, 40 mCi Am-241/Be) stolen from a construction site in Vero Beach. The Indian River Sheriff's Office has been notified (case number 26-12020). Incident number: FL26-007 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.
