| Title | Nuclear Moisture Density Gauge Stolen From Construction Site |
| Event Description | At approximately 1300 HST on 6/2607, the licensee discovered that their Nuclear Moisture Density Gauge, a CPN Model MC-3 Serial Number M3409007585, had been stolen from a storage shed at the construction site. The outer storage shed lock and the lock on the gauge's storage container were cut. In addition to the gauge some propane equipment was also taken. The Honolulu PD is on-site conducting an investigation.
The construction site is located on Ford Island (federal property portion) in Pearl Harbor near Building 184. The project is for NOAA with contract administration provided by Department of the Navy. The last known use of this particular gauge by the licensee was on 6/8/07. The licensee is evaluating whether to offer a reward for the return of the stolen gauge. The licensee's RSO was informed of the theft by staff at the construction site. Notified the State of Hawaii Rad Health. 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 |
