| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The following was received from the State of California via email:
A CPN Portable gauge containing 10 mCi of Cesium 137 and 50 mCi of Americium 241 was stolen from the technician's residence [Campbell, CA] on December 25, 2014. According to the RSO [Radiation Safety Officer], a police report was filed on December 25th and RHB [California Radiologic Health Branch] was notified on December 26, 2014. RHB North was notified of this theft on December 30, 2014 at 1300 PST. The RSO was requested to provide a reward in the local paper and on Craigslist and to provide RHB North a copy of the Police Report and description of the circumstances as soon as possible, as the RSO was not in the office and did not have access to the pertinent information. Additional information will be forwarded when it is received 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.
