Also stolen were tools and another moisture density gauge (see EN #42814). The gauge was locked in its transportation container, which was inside a locked gang box, which was inside a locked storage shed. The Pennsylvania Police in Swift Water were notified. The licensee notified R1 (Beardsley). The following information was provided: Troxler Model 3440 S/N 35144 Cs-137 source: 8 milliCurie Am-241:Be: 40 milliCurie 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. |
