Event Description	On 12/22/03, six hand held vapor tracer explosive detectors were sent from the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Crane, IN and received by the Fleet Industrial Supply Center (FISC) in Everett, WA in the beginning of Jan 04. The vapor tracers were then sent to the Todds Pacific Shipyard for delivery to the USS Shoup and the USS Ingraham. Todds Pacific Shipyard denies ever receiving the vapor tracers from FISC. The USS Shoup did receive 5 vapor tracers in Jan 04 and transferred 2 to Todds Pacific Shipyard since only 3 were needed. The remaining 2 vapor tracers were delivered to the USS Ingraham. The licensee is reporting the loss of one vapor tracer between FISC and Todds Pacific Shipyard. The vapor tracer contains a 8 millicurie Ni 63 source.
