Title	Receipt of Radioactive Material Without Proper Control
Event Description	An 89 curie Iridium-192 Gamma Radiography Camera (Model 660) was received at a Naval warehouse in Guam without proper controls or receipt inspection. The Navy Master Materials licensee representative states that the radiography camera was sent by AEA (the camera vendor) to a submarine tender stationed in Guam without preshipment notification or any request for the camera by Naval personnel stationed on the tender. The camera was received by the warehouse on March 2, 2005, and placed in warehouse storage without procedural control related to the receipt of radioactive materials. On March 14, 2005, during unrelated survey of materials in the warehouse, the camera was discovered. The submarine tender radiographer was contacted and performed receipt inspection and survey and determined that there is not radiological problems and the camera source is in its proper safe storage position. This event is still under investigation and a 30 day written followup report will be prepared. The licensee is reporting this event under 10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1) because the material was not under proper control from March 2 through March 14, 2005. The licensee has notified the NRC regional inspector (Masnyk-Bailey) and NRC HQ (Bhachu).
