Title	Aea Technology Qsa, Inc.

Aea Was Notified by Knolls Atomic That the Package, Received by Them on 12/6/01 or 12/7/01, Was Opened on or Around 5/20/02, at Which Time the Inner Container Appeared to Have Been Opened, and All Contents Were Absent.
Event Description	The State Agency was informed by the licensee they received the shipment from England on 12/5/01, checked the outer cardboard container for damage, and resent the shipment to their customer, Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in New York. The package was received 12/6/01 or 12/7/01. At Knolls, the radiation safety staff received the shipment and confirmed the outer package was undamaged and delivered it to the end user in the Chemistry Department. The user opened the package on or around 5/20/02. Knolls Atomic informed AEA they believe the seal on the inner plastic container was intact, but that the final container, a flame-sealed glass container, appeared to have been opened and the contents removed, in addition, AEA was informed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was notified. * * UPDATE FROM GALLAGHAR TO KNOKE AT 0952 ON 07/26/07 * * * The State provided the following information via email: The following information is provided to close NMED Item Number 020624: Material was shipped to the Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory (KAPL) and received there on or around 12/6 or 12/7/2001 and not opened until Mid-May of 2002. Investigation by AEA Technology QSA, Inc. (AEA) and KAPL revealed that the shipment arrived at the laboratory intact with no apparent damage; when later opened it appeared that the materials had been used. Based upon the condition of the shipping containers when they arrived at KAPL it appears likely that the vials were used at the customer location, apparently without their knowledge. Notified R1DO (Finney) and NMSS (Flannery)
