The following report was received from the … The following report was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health via email:</br>On December 26, 2018, the licensee reported a stolen Troxler portable moisture/density gauge. The gauge had been stored at a temporary jobsite (the Lorton Construction Landfill in Lorton, Virginia). It was stolen between December 21, and the start of work on December 26 when it was discovered missing. The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) contacted the Virginia State Police and the Fairfax County Police Department, the local law enforcement agency. Initial searches near the landfill by the licensee were unsuccessful. The gauge contained a cesium-137 source and an americium-241 source. This report will be updated when the RSO provides additional information, including serial numbers of the gauge and sources and the source activities.</br>* * * UPDATE ON 12/27/2018 AT 1052 EST FROM CHARLES COLEMAN TO ANDREW WAUGH * * *</br>The following update was received from the Commonwealth of Virginia Department of Health via email:</br>The licensee identified the stolen gauge as a Troxler Model 3430, serial number 33748.
