The gauge contains a 40 millicurie americium-241:beryllium source and an 8 millicurie cesium-137 source. The RSO stated the technician went to the truck at 0545 CDT this morning and found that the chains holding the gauge in the truck had been cut and the gauge and transport case were missing. The RSO stated that because the gauge had not been used this day, the cesium source rod should have been locked in the fully shielded position. The City of Fort Worth's police department was notified of the theft. The RSO is traveling to the office where the gauge was normally stored to interview the technician involved in the event. </br>Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA-300.</br>Texas NMED #: TX240039</br>Texas Incident #: 10138</br>* * * UPDATE ON 10/17/2024 AT 1435 EDT FROM ART TUCKER TO NATALIE STARFISH * * *</br>The Department has sent a notice of this event to the City of Fort Worth Emergency Management Office.</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.
