AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN THERMO ELECTRON XRF ANALYZER
The following report was received from the Commonwealth of Kentucky via fax:
"On 8/7/15, [the licensee] reported that [sometime] in 2011, a Thermo Electron XRF Analyzer Model XLp818 (serial number 17620) was stolen from their facility in Louisville, KY. The device contained a QSA Global AMCL Am-241 source (serial number 5588CW) that was 30 mCi on 3/13/2007. The KY RHB [Kentucky Radiation Health Branch] has requested additional information."
KY Report: KY150004.
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.
