| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3" level of radioactive material. | Event Text POTENTIAL RECOVERY OF LOST OR STOLEN TROXLER MOISTURE DENSITY GAUGE
A local citizen contacted the State of Florida to report that he had a Troxler moisture density gauge Model 3440, S/N 22605 in his possession for a year. The individual stated that he took the gauge from his deceased neighbors home, and that the neighbor had told him he found the gauge in a field.
The state representative was informed by the NRC Operations Center that this device was reported stolen from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in FT. Polk, LA in March 2002 and documented on NRC Event Report #38806.
The state is going to retrieve the gauge this evening.
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. |
