ARTICLE SNIPPET: "EAST ORANGE, N.J. -- Authorities are looking for two sealed sources of radioactive material reported missing from a demolition site, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said Wednesday.
A worker left the moisture density gauge at the site of the former Arcadian Gardens housing project at lunchtime Monday and returned to find the crushed remains of the gauge and the radioactive sources missing, said NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan.
The amount of radioactive material involved is not considered to be significant, but officials are concerned that someone with prolonged contact could receive harmful amounts of radiation exposure."
