On January 4, 2024, the Department was notified by the licensee that a Troxler gauge identical to the one they had lost was on the Facebook Marketplace website. The Department contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent (FBISA) it has worked with previously and shared the information. On January 5, 2024, the FBISA worked with the licensee and was able to set up a meeting with the seller and was able to recover the gauge. [The FBISA confirmed by serial number it was the gauge that was stolen]. The licensee returned the gauge to its secured storage location and will perform radiation and leak test on the gauge. The individual who had the gauge stated they did not know it contained radioactive material. They also stated they never manipulated the source rod. Additional information will be provided as it is received in accordance with SA300. | |||

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL | THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Less than Cat 3' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL | ||
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.
