Title	Receipt of Two Unidentified Radioactive Sources Without Documentation
Event Description	Dianon Systems is a diagnostic laboratory licensed by the NRC to handle P-32 and I-125. On April 13, 2005, Dianon received a shipment of two radioactive sources without any information as to what the sources were, their strength (i.e., radioactivity), or what diagnostics where to be performed. Dianon immediately contacted the originator of the shipment, a doctor out of Brooklyn, NY. The doctor was not willing to provide any information on the sources other than to say that the sources were "6 months old, safe, and no threat." Dianon surveyed the sources and found that they were still radioactive, however, the caller was unable to provide a meaningful millirem/distance reading. Dianon has safely secured the sources in lead shielding and is uncertain on how to proceed in resolving disposition of the sources.
