| Title | Agreement State - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (the Division) reported the following via email:
On August 26, 2024, an Epic Engineering gauge user was at the gym from 0700-0800 MDT. While at the gym, a Troxler nuclear density gauge was locked in the bed of the company truck. When the user returned to the truck after completing their workout, the company truck had been stolen along with the nuclear density gauge. The local police department has been contacted. The Division was notified by the company owner later that morning. Utah Event Report ID: UT 24-0007 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.
