AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE-DENSITY GAUGE
The following was received from the State of Utah via email.
"The morning of June 10, 2018, the licensee discovered that a portable nuclear density gauge had been stolen from one of their work trucks. The truck had been parked in the driveway of the AGEC's [Applied Geotechnical Engineering Consultants, Inc.] employee's house. The license claims that the gauge was properly stored in storage container that was bolted to the bed of the truck and the tailgate was locked. The licensee explained that the perpetrator broke through the locked tailgate, cut the barriers around the Troxler box, cut the locks on the Troxler box and removed the portable gauge. The Salt Lake City Police Department was also contacted. The licensee will continue to investigate the incident and will submit a written report to the DWMRC [Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control]."
Event Report ID No.: UT180002
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.
