The following was received by email from the Florida Department of Health, Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC):

"BRC received a call at 1045 EDT from the radiation safety officer of ECS Florida LLC. The caller stated that an Instrotek 3500 (#4012, AmBe K893/19, Cs137 BG1008) moisture density gauge was stolen from the back of a pickup truck on its way to a job site. The vehicle made several stops on the way and they do not know at which location it was stolen."

Florida Incident Number: FL23-085

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.
