Title	Two Nickel-63 Sources Lost
Event Description	Radiation Safety Associates, a consultant for the licensee, reported that two detector cells for gas chromatography units containing 15 millicuries of nickel-63 were determined to be missing. The two sources are a Perkin Elmer Model # 6000204 (Serial # 1140) and an HP/Agilant Technologies Model # G2379A (Serial U0169). Radiation Safety Associates, Inc. was performing decommissioning activities for the licensee at its Stamford, CT, facilities. In performing an inventory of material in one area of the facility, they were unable to locate a cardboard box which supposedly contained the sources. The box had been set aside and marked "save" for disposal as radioactive waste. The consultant believes that the box was inadvertently disposed of as normal trash. Trash is picked up by Waste Management, Inc. at P&G-Clairol on a daily basis. Trash is then taken to the Bridgeport, CT incinerator where it is incinerated daily.
