| Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Moisture Density Gauge |
| Event Description | A moisture density gauge was stolen from the J.A. Cesare company in Henderson, NV between 0300 and 0500 on 9/25/2008. A state investigator is at the scene but has not reported details of the theft at this time.
Serial Number: MD90204856 Sources: 10 mCi Cs-137 and 50 mCi Am-241/Be Additional information will be reported on 9/26/2008.
The State reports that the stolen moisture density gauge has been recovered by police at a pawn shop. The gauge had not been tampered with and has been returned to the licensee's RSO. It was determined that the gauge was left in a company vehicle in the licensee's parking lot when it was originally stolen. The State also noted that the gauge was actually a CPN Model MC-1DR (preliminary information had indicated that the gauge was a Troxler). Notified R4DO (Jones), FSME (Tadesse), and ILTAB (e-mail). 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. |
