| Title | California Agreement State Report- Lost Radioactive Material |
| Event Description | The California Radiation Health Bureau reported that a radiopharmaceutical carrier had lost 112 milliCuries of Thallium-201. The shipment of thallium was picked up at the airport in Burbank, CA and was in transport to Loma Linda, CA when it was discovered missing. The carrier had made two stops after picking up the product in Burbank, CA. The carrier reported that when they left Placentia, CA, (the second stop) their truck tailgate was closed. When they reached Loma Linda, CA, they discovered that the tailgate was open. It is believed that the package with the thallium fell out on the interstate between Placentia and Loma Linda.
The carrier searched the route twice without success. The State of California did notify the California Highway Patrol of the missing package. California incident number is 020805. |
