| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Troxler Gauge |
| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of Florida Bureau of Radiation Control via email:
[The licensee] left the gauge on the tailgate of his truck and drove away from the jobsite. Realizing that he had forgotten to secure the gauge properly he retraced his travel back to the last known location, but could not find the missing gauge. Device Type: Moisture Density Manufacture: Troxler Model Number: 3430 Serial Number: 70824 Isotope and Activity: Cs-137, 8 mCi and AmBe 40 mCi. Florida Incident Number: FL17-074 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.
