AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
Between Saturday February 18, 2006 and Sunday morning February 19, 2006, a Troxler (Model 3440, S/N 31113, containing two sources; i.e., 0.3GBq [8 mCi] Cs-137 and 1.48 GBq [40 mCi] Am-241:Be) moisture density gauge was stolen from the operator's residence. The residence was the normal storage location for this gauge. The gauge was stolen along with other equipment from the operator's residence. The event was reported to local law enforcement.
Case Number: KS060001
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.
