The following information was provided by … The following information was provided by the state of Colorado via email:</br>During the morning of 12/17/2021, a portable gauge user noticed their truck had been broken into (in Westminster, CO) and a portable gauge was stolen from the truck. The portable gauge is a Troxler model 3430, serial number 32370, containing 9 mCi cesium-137 and 44 mCi americium-241:beryllium. The stolen gauge has been reported to the local law enforcement.</br>Event Report ID No.: CO210043</br>* * * UPDATE ON 12/26/24 AT 1716 EST FROM PHILLIP PETERSON TO TENISHA MEADOWS * * *</br>The following information was provided by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) via email:</br>On 12/26/24, CDPHE was notified that a member of the public had taken possession of a portable moisture/density gauge. From photos received by CDPHE, the gauge was likely the gauge stolen from the event number above. However, photos did not include the serial number for the gauge, so it is possible the gauge is from EN56084 / NMED item number 220396.</br>Prior to interacting with CDPHE, the member of the public learned that the gauge contained radioactive material and abandoned the gauge outside of their property. The gauge was then picked up by an unknown party and the current location of the gauge is unknown.</br>Assistance from the Colorado State Patrol has been requested for this event. CDPHE will provide additional updates as we receive them.</br>Notified R4DO (Roldan-Otero), NMSS Events Notification (email), and ILTAB (email).</br>* * * UPDATE ON 1/2/25 AT 1556 EST FROM PHILLIP PETERSON TO TENISHA MEADOWS * * *</br>The following information was provided by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) via email:</br>On 1/2/25, CDPHE was notified that the Colorado State Patrol had located the Troxler model 3430 that was originally stolen in 2021 (event number 55664).
