AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
The following was received from the California Department of Public Health via email:
"A Troxler moisture density gauge (model 3430, serial # 31716) was reported stolen Monday morning at approximately 0600 PDT from the bed of an employee's vehicle while the vehicle was parked for 1-2 hours outside the employee's residence in Moreno Valley, CA. The gauge contains approximately 0.3 GBq (8 mCi) of Cs-137 and 1.50 GBq (40 mCi) of Am-241. The gauge was reportedly picked up earlier that morning at the licensee's office in Rancho Cucamonga, and left appropriately chained/locked in the back of the vehicle at the employee's residence before leaving for a work location. The theft was reported to the Moreno Valley Police Department (police report #MV201950058 taken by Officer Flores). A reward will be advertised for the return of the gauge."
California 5010 NUMBER: 071420
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.
