A Troxler moisture density gauge being useA Troxler moisture density gauge being used at Fort Meade (Maryland) was found to be stolen along with other industrial equipment at 1400 on 12/2/10.

Other items stolen included crane mats, a generator and miscellaneous tools.</br>The nuclear gauge is a Troxler Model 3430, S/N 37672, which contains two radioactive sources. One source is 44 mCi of Am-241/Be (S/N 78-2430). The other source is 9 mCi of Cs-137 (S/N 77-4907).</br>The licensee will notify base police to begin an investigation into the theft.</br>The licensee has notified the State of Maryland of the theft.</br>* * * UPDATE FROM DREW THOMAS TO JOE O'HARA AT 0948 ON 12/14/10 * * * </br>On 12/10/10, FT. Meade U.S. Army base police officers informed the licensee that the stolen container had been "dumped" back onto the jobsite.
