A portable troxler gauge (Model 3430) with an Am-241/CS-137 was lost by a common carrier. The activity of the source is unknown at this time. Serial Number: 21711 Am-241 Source Serial Number: 47-16983 Cs-137 Source Serial Number: 75-3259 Georgia Incident Number: 19
CS -137 Manufacture Radiological Specification (8mCi plus or minus 10 percent) Am-241 Manufacture Radiological Specification (40mCi plus or minus 10 percent) 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.
