| Title | NON-AGREEMENT State Report - Lost or Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following is a synopsis of information received via telephone:
Upon arriving at a jobsite in West Indianapolis, the technician went to remove a Troxler gauge for use. Upon opening the toolbox in the bed of the truck, the technician found that the Troxler gauge was missing from its case. The toolbox is bolted to the bed of the truck, however the locks for the toolbox and case were found not to be locked. At the present time, the licensee is not sure whether the Troxler gauge was stolen or possibly left at the last jobsite where it was used this past Saturday. The licensee is dispatching individuals to the last jobsite to search for the Troxler gauge. The licensee has also reported this event to the Indianapolis Police Department. The Troxler gauge is a Model 3430 moisture density gauge, serial number 23266. The Troxler gauge contains 0.3 GBq of Cs-137 and 1.48 GBq of Am-241. The licensee will provide updated information when available. 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.
