On 08/06/21, California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) contacted Radiologic Health Branch (RHB) to report an incident involving loss of a Thermo Fisher Scientific, Niton X fill P 300 series XRF analyzer, Model XLP 300, S/N: 91800. The unit was resourced in May 2018 with 40 milliCi of Cd-109, with current activity of 6.7 milliCi. The XRF unit was taken from one of their employee's vehicle parked at his residence in San Jose, CA. A police report has been filed with the San Jose PD (report # is not available at this time). RHB will be following up with this investigation. California ID Number: 5010 - 080621 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.
