On 04/09/20, the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) contacted the Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) to report a notification made by a California licensee regarding a lost hydro probe. The gauge involved is a CPN Model 503DR, S/N H380104084 hydro probe containing 50 mCi of Am-241. The report stated that the field user placed the probe into its case without securing its latches and locks and drove off to the next field site. It is believed that the probe had fallen out of the truck somewhere on Crows Landing Road between Carpenter Road and Ehrlich Road. The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] had notified the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the local Fire Department of the incident. Repeated attempts made by the RSO, his staff and CHP to locate the gauge were unsuccessful. The RSO will be posting a reward on social media for the safe return of the gauge. The RHB will be following up on this investigation. | On 04/09/20, the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) contacted the Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) to report a notification made by a California licensee regarding a lost hydro probe.

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.
