ENS 42427 | 17 March 2006 05:00:00 | Agreement State | Maryland Agreement State Report - Stolen Troxler Gauge | A Troxler model 3430 moisture density gauge was stolen from a locked storage trailer on a temporary jobsite on Reistertown Road in Pikesville, MD. The gauge serial number is #23191 and contained a 8 millicurie Cs-137 source and 40 millicurie Am-241 source. The Maryland State inspectors and the Baltimore City Police are on the scene to conduct their investigation. The Maryland Department of the Environment will be issuing a press release on 3/17/06. 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. |
