The following information was provided by the New Jersey Bureau of Environmental Radiation (BER) via email:

While the device was in New York, it was either lost or stolen. The licensee did not notify BER staff that the device was lost or stolen until 2024, when staff was requesting more information for their request to terminate their general license registration."

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.
