| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) via email:
On 8/20/2022 at approximately 2130 EDT, the RSO for Rummel, Klepper and Kahl, LLP (RK & K) called the BRC to report that two moisture density gauges were stolen from their facility. They noticed the missing gauges sometime this evening and immediately contacted the BRC and the Orlando Police Department (OPD). At the time of the call, the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) was only able to provide the serial number for both gauges (24588 & 23489) but no additional information as OPD was on site making a report. A follow-up call is scheduled to gather further details. Follow-up with the RK & K RSO on 8/22/22: RK & K has two field office trailers located in a yard in Orlando , FL, which is operated by CSX Transportation. On the evening of Saturday 8/20/22, at approximately 2000 EDT, CSX maintenance noticed the fence and lock chains were cut and contacted the senior project engineer. He arrived at the facility around 2045 EDT and noticed the Conex was breached with two gauges missing. They have video of the vehicle entering the complex, but, unfortunately, the plates were taken off. A report was filed with Orlando Police Department. Report #2022-00288935. An inspector will be stopping by the facility today for further investigation. FL Incident Number: FL22-098 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.
