| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | In the evening on 02/07/06, the gauge operator drove to his residence to retrieve paperwork. At 1830, when the operator returned to his truck he noticed his Troxler Model 3440 (s/n 32207 8 millicuries Cs-137 and 40 millicuries Am-241/Be) was missing. The theft was reported to local law enforcement. The gauge was locked in the bed of the truck. The company's Radiation Safety Officer is enroute to conduct an investigation.
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. |
