The following was received from the State … The following was received from the State of California via email:</br>On January 30, 2015, a telephone report was made to the (California Department of Public Health) CDPH Director's office that a gauge had been stolen. The person making the report was difficult to understand, but the Director's office was able to ascertain the contact telephone number. Upon receiving notice of the call, a representative from (Radiologic Health Branch) (RHB) immediately called that telephone number (at approximately 1100 PST on January 30, 2015), and spoke with the RSO of Giles Engineering Associates, RML #4592-30. (The RSO) stated that a moisture/density gauge (CPN, MC-1DRP, serial #MD20506575 containing 0.370 GBq of Cs-137 and 1.85 GBq of Am-241) had been stolen from a transport vehicle in front of a Comfort Inn at 1185 Admiral Callahan Lane, Vallejo, CA. The authorized gauge user had left the radioactive gauge chained and locked in the back of his vehicle at approximately 0600 PST and went back inside the Comfort Inn to complete some paper work. When he returned to his vehicle at approximately 0625 PST to go to the worksite, (the authorized gauge user) noticed that the chains had been cut through and that the radioactive gauge had been removed from his vehicle. (The authorized gauge user) contacted the RSO of Giles Engineering Associates, who stated he had attempted to notify Local Law Enforcement officials in Vallejo to report the theft. (The RSO) was directed to fill out a report online as that was the policy of the Vallejo Police Department in regards to all theft cases not involving immediate threats to persons. When (the RSO) receives (the authorized user's) written report and the police report, he will forward them to RHB Brea. (The RSO) will utilize local papers in the Vallejo area to attempt to retrieve the stolen gauge. Additionally he will notify local vendors who service radioactive gauges to be alert for the serial number of the stolen gauge in case it turns up at any of their facilities.</br>CA 5010 #: 013015</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.
