AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
"Portable moisture density gauge was stolen along with vehicle (Jeep Cherokee) on night of December 23 or 24 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Gauge loss may have been incidental to theft of vehicle, however company policy was to return gauge to office.
"Troxler model 3411 portable moisture density gauge, s/n 12367"
Sources: 40 milliCuries Am-241:Be and 8 milliCuries Cs-137
A police report has been filed with the Las Vegas Metro Police Department.
Nevada Event Report: NV-06-008
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.
