| Event Description | Sometime between Friday night (1/27/06) and early Saturday morning (1/28/06), the authorized gauge user's vehicle was stolen from a residential location in Sharpsburg, PA. The vehicle's trunk contained a locked and secured Troxler Model 3440 S/N 18315 (8 mCi Cs-137 and 40 mCi Am-241/Be). The local Sharpsburg Police Department was informed of the theft (report #060309). The licensee is evaluating whether a reward will be offered.
The Pittsburgh Police Department notified the licensee that the stolen vehicle had been recovered and placed in a police impoundment lot 1930 EST on 2/20/06. A representative for the licensee was dispatched to recover the vehicle and found the gauge still in the trunk undisturbed. Visual checkout of the gauge was normal. The licensee will perform a leak test on the source in the morning. R1DO (Trapp), R3DO (Riemer) and NMSS EO (Brach) notified. 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. |
