| ENS 56014 | 22 July 2022 07:00:00 | Agreement State | Moisture Density Gauge Lost During Shipping | The following information was received via E-mail: The Department (Arizona Department of Health Services) was notified that a Humboldt 5001EZ, SN 1981, has been lost at an XPO shipping facility in Phoenix, Arizona. The gauge contains 10 mCi of Cesium-137 and 40 mCi of Americium-241. A reciprocity licensee, Geo-Logic Associates, dropped off the gauge at an XPO facility in Sacramento on July 15, 2022. The gauge then shipped on July 18, 2022 and arrived at the Phoenix XPO facility in Phoenix, Arizona on July 20, 2022. A company technician attempted to pick up the gauge on the afternoon of July 22, 2022 but was told that the XPO facility was unable to locate the gauge. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300. 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.
