On July 8, 2015, RHB [CA Radiation Health Branch] was notified that a SUV containing a CPN MC-1 DR # MD60608339 portable soil gauge containing 50 mCi of Am-241/Be and 10 mCi of Cs-137 was stolen in San Clemente. An authorized gauge user parked his SUV, with the gauge secured in the rear of the vehicle, in the driveway of his house. The vehicle containing the gauge was stolen during the night. The vehicle and its contents were reported stolen to the police (Orange County Sheriff / San Clemente Station). RHB will continue to work with the licensee regarding this ongoing investigation. CA 5010 Number - 070815 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.
