A Troxler Model 3440 (S/N 18635) containin … A Troxler Model 3440 (S/N 18635) containing two sources, i.e., 8 millicuries Cs-137 and 40 millicuries Am-241/Be, was stolen from the Indiana Department of Transportation field office in Elkhart, Indiana. The field office was broken into during the weekend and Troxler gauge was found missing from a locked closet. The licensee will conduct an investigation and inform their local law enforcement. </br>The licensee notified the NRC Region 3 Office (Jim Lynch). </br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>Category 3 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for some hours. It could possibly - although it is unlikely - be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. These sources are typically used in practices such as fixed industrial gauges involving high activity sources (for example: level gauges, dredger gauges, conveyor gauges and spinning pipe gauges) and well logging.
