The licensee is retracting this report based on the following: The shipping company temporarily lost track of the item and found it in their system. The gauge was delivered with no evidence of tampering on 12/30/05 at 1130 CST. Notified R4DO (Clark), NMSS EO (Ruland), TAS (Whitney). THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 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. |
