The following summary was received from the Tennessee Division of Radiological Health via email:
At 1015 CDT, on 7/31/2022, a truck containing a density gauge was stolen. The gauge was secured and locked in a company work truck near the 4600 Block of Summer Avenue in Memphis, TN. A report has been filed with Memphis Police Department. The gauge is a Instrotek 3500 Xplorer, (SN: 4492) with 40 milliCuries of Am-241 (Source SN: K481/21) and 10 milliCuries of Cs-137 (Source SN: BG1480).

TN incident no.: TN-22-056
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.
