A moisture density gauge, model CPN MC-3, … A moisture density gauge, model CPN MC-3, containing approximately 8 milliCuries of Cs-137 and 30 milliCuries of Am-241 was lost from the back of a pickup truck while traveling from a jobsite in Carlsbad, CA to the company home office in San Diego. The jobsite was on Cassia Road (Thomas Guide, page 1127, D4-E4). It was reported that the gauge was inadvertently left in the back of the pickup truck without being put into the transportation case, neither the gauge nor the transportation case were secured to the truck, and the truck tailgate was left down. Both the gauge and the transportation case apparently fell out of the truck in the first few miles of travel. The driver noticed the tailgate down shortly after turning onto Palomar Airport Road from El Camino Real (Thomas Guide, page 1127, E2). The driver back tracked and found the case but not the gauge. Local law enforcement authorities were notified, and the RSO went to the scene to assist in attempting to locate the gauge.</br>* * * UPDATE ON 8/11/04 AT 1900 EDT FROM ROB GREGER TO GERRY WAIG * * * </br>Mr. Greger reported that the lost gauge was recovered about 1 block from the jobsite today at approximately 1300 PDT.
