Title	Lost Generally-Licensed Device
Event Description	Between 10/01/05 and 10/03/05, Continental Structural Plastics lost a small static eliminator. The device was attached to the barrel of an air gun and was being used to ionize plastic parts. The company searched for the material but was unable to locate it. It is thought that the material may have been inadvertently disposed of in the trash. The device is a NRD Model P2021-8000 Nuclecel static eliminator containing a Po-210 ionization source. The company did not know the source strength, however these devices contain sources which are less than 10 milliCuries. Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
