| Title | Missing Troxler Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at the Idaho Transportation Department discovered a Troxler 3440 moisture density gauge missing when it was believed to be in lock-up and a wipe test was to be performed on July 18, 2013. The Idaho Transportation Department searched all the projects and alerted everyone in the district that the gauge was missing. After a week, the gauge could not be located.
Gauge Information: Troxler Model 3440, Serial # 26155 Sources: Americium-241/Beryllium, 40 millicuries; Cesium-137, 8 millicuries
The gauge has been found and is in the possession of the licensee. Notified R4DO (Allen), FSME Events Resource, ILTAB and Canada.. 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.
