The incident occurred 8/23/22 around lunch time and was reported to (Environmental Protection Division) (EPD) at (1530 EDT). The gauge is a Humboldt Model 5001. It is currently unknown which Isotope it contained or its activity (Cs-137 or Am-241). The gauge user was onsite and had placed the gauge on the tailgate of his truck. He left for lunch and when he got to the location, realized he had forgot to secure the gauge in it's transport box. The gauge was no longer on the vehicle.

We (EDP) are following up for more information, but wanted to meet our reporting requirements and inform you of the loss.</br>The following additional information was obtained from the state in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance:</br>The license number, the county, and the worst case scenario activity for the Humboldt Model 5001 gauge (44mCi of Am-241).</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.
