| Event Description | The following report was received from the Ohio Bureau of Environmental Health and Radiation Protection via email:
The Licensee had a truck with a CPN Model MC1DR gauge in it, stolen at approximately [1330 EDT] on 5/31/18 from a convenience store in southeast Columbus. The gauge contains 10 mCi of Cs-137 and 50 mCi of Am-241 sealed sources. The truck and gauge were recovered by police several hours later. The Licensee got the truck and gauge back about [2100 EDT] that evening. The gauge case had been opened, but the gauge did not appear to be damaged. The Licensee is taking the gauge to Cline Technical Services (a licensed service provider) to have it checked out as a precautionary measure. An ODH [Ohio Department of Health] inspector [will be visiting the] licensee location on Monday, 6/4/18. Ohio Item Number: OH180004 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.
