| ENS 47570 | 5 January 2012 14:30:00 | Agreement State | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge | The following was received via email: At 10:45 a.m. today, 1/05/12, the (NJ) Bureau of Environmental Radiation (BER) received a call from the RSO for Nova QA Consulting to report that one of his inspector's car was stolen in front of the client's facility in Orange, NJ this morning between 09:30 and 10:00 a.m. In the locked car was a Troxler Model 4640 serial #2375 with less than 9 mCi of Cs-137. His inspector called the Orange police and the RSO is also in communication with the Orange police. At 11:05 a.m. the RSO said that he will call Trenton Dispatch. Trenton Dispatch called the BER at 11:25 a.m. 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.
