| Title | Troxler Moisture Density Gauge Found On Indian Reservation |
| Event Description | The Bureau of Indians Affairs Great Lakes Agency (License #48-32735-01) reported that a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge has been found on the Bad River Indian Reservation. The gauge was delivered to the Radiation Safety Officer for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The gauge is currently stored in a safe location and the source rod is in the locked position. The licensee and owner of the gauge is not known at this time. The Troxler Gauge is a model 3411B, S/N 8975, and contains an Am-241 40 mCi and a Cs-137 7.5 mCi source. The RSO contacted the Troxler Corporation for more information.
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.
