The following was received from the State … The following was received from the State of Colorado via email:</br>The State of Colorado needs to report a missing/lost portable gauge. The licensee is AG Wassenaar, Inc. (Colorado license number CO 212-01). The gauge is a Troxler model 3430, serial number 36856 with 333 MBq (9 mCi) of Cs-137 and 1.63 GBq (44 mCi) Am-241:Be.</br>The technician who was using the gauge was working at one job site and then drove to a 2nd job site. The technician cannot remember if he placed the portable gauge in the transportation box or not, and whether or not the gauge was secured for transport appropriately. When the technician arrived at the 2nd job site at approximately 1430 MDT on 4/11/14, he noticed that the gauge was missing. The technician and radiation safety officer have traveled the area between the two job sites and were not able to locate the missing gauge. The licensee reported the missing gauge at approximately 1750 MDT on 4/11/14.</br>The investigation by the licensee and the Department (State of Colorado) is ongoing.</br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>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.
