| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Utah via email:
The licensee stopped and parked their truck in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. Licensee personnel stepped away from the truck but left it unlocked and running. An unknown man ran up to the vehicle and stole the truck and its contents. At the time the truck was stolen, a Troxler Moisture Density Gauge containing licensed material was secured in the bed of the licensee's truck in its transportation case with the source rod locked (gauge and source information listed below). The licensee notified the police and has begun actions to recover the gauge (Cottonwood Police Department, Case Number 15x7206). Troxler Moisture Density Gauge: Gauge Serial Number: 12386 Source Information: CS-137 (8.7 mCi) S/N: 50-0529 Source Information: Am241: BE (40.0 mCi) S/N: 47-7684 This incident is still being investigated [by the State of Utah]. Utah Event Report ID No.: UT150009 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.
