| Title | Radiography Camera Stolen and Then Recovered |
| Event Description | While filling up a licensee company truck at a gas station located in Ripley, West Virginia, an individual stole the company truck and its associated radiography camera (QSA 880; S/N 677846;108 Ci; Iridium-192 source). The licensee notified LLEA (West Virginia State Police) and the vehicle was recovered. The licensee inspected the properly secured equipment and observed no impact to the radiography camera. The licensee stated there was no radiological impact to the public or employees.
THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 2" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.
