Title	Truck Accident Involving Damage to Technetium-99 Shipment
Event Description	A call was received from a Captain in the Lee Summit, Missouri, Fire Department stating a truck carrying Technetium-99 had been involved in a single car accident. He stated that the approximately 7 to 9 lead pigs were ejected from the truck and that some of the pigs opened releasing "syringes." He stated that no fluids had leaked out of any of the syringes. He noted that the shipper, Cardinal Health, had responded to the scene and surveyed the material and found no contamination. However, he had no contact information on Cardinal Health or a contact number. He also had notified the State of Missouri Radiological Health Division. The NRC Operations Center was able to contact a responsible party at Cardinal Health that confirmed the general details of the accident. The Cardinal Health representative stated that surveys on site were still in progress but no contamination had been found. The material has been secured and loaded onto another truck for removal from the accident scene. The Cardinal Health representative stated that there would likely be a follow-up report to this event from Corporate Offices in Ohio when investigation into the incident were completed.
