STOLEN HUMBOLDT NUCLEAR GAUGE
The device was stolen from a job site in Valrico, Florida, from a truck after the chain had been cut. The theft was reported to the police department, and a reward will be offered by the licensee. The device was a Humboldt (model #5001, serial #1287) containing Cs-137/Am-241(8/40 millicuries).
***** UPDATE RECEIVED AT 1728 ON 07/22/02 FROM CHARLIE ADAMS TO LEIGH TROCINE *****
A member of the public discovered the stolen Humboldt soil moisture density gauge (model #5001, serial #1287) today in Plant City, Florida (between Tampa and Orlando near Lakeland) not far off of Interstate 4. The gauge was originally stolen on 04/13/01, and a Deputy at the site reported that the gauge looked like it had been at the discovery site for a long time. It was reported that the gauge appeared to be in the case and did not appear damaged. Representatives from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office are currently guarding the device at the discovery site, and a Florida Bureau of Radiation Control representative is en route to the scene.
(Call the NRC operations officer for a Florida Bureau of Radiation Control contact telephone number.)
The NRC operations officer notified the R2DO (Charlie Payne) and NMSS EO (Eric Leeds).
