| Title | Agreement State Report - Moisture Density Gauge Stolen From Transport Vehicle |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of California via email:
RHB [Radiological Health Branch] Richmond received Hazardous Material Spill Report - Cal EMA [Emergency Management Agency] Control #:14-2601, from Warning Center on May 17, 2014. The report stated that the Silicon Valley Soil Engineering's moisture density gauge manufactured by CPN, model MC-1 DR-P, Serial MD 70803844, was stolen from the transport vehicle on May 16, 2014, at 10:40 a.m. [PDT]. The gauge contained 50 mCi of Am-241 and 10 mCi of Cs-137. RHB will be inspecting this licensee to develop more information. 5010 Number (Date Notified): 051914 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.
