| Title | Stolen/Found Source |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Radiation Protection (DEP) via email:
On June 1, 2023, an employee of the licensee reported to police that their vehicle, with a nuclear density gauge in it, was stolen earlier that day. The vehicle was located and returned to the employee within a few hours. The gauge was still properly stored in the trunk and untouched with no evidence that the trunk lock, gauge chain, chain lock, or gauge case had been tampered with. The DEP has been in contact with the licensee and will update this event as soon as more information is provided. Troxler Model Number: 3430 Serial Number: 29846 Cesium 137, 9 millicuries; Americium 241:Be, 44 millicuries Event Report ID No: 230017 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.
