| Title | Missing Sources |
| Event Description | In February 2006 the licensee shipped 60 Ni-63 (15 millicuries each) sources to Isotope Products Labs in California. The licensee determined today that the shipment never made it to its destination. The licensee has commenced an investigation.
The RSO was able to locate Fed Ex tracking numbers and the tracking information confirms that Isotope Products Labs received the sources on February 1, 2006. The initial number of 60 sources has been revised to 65 sources. Notified NMSS (Wastler), the R1DO (Cobey) and the R4DO (Johnson).
Isotope Products have located the 65 returned sources. These were shipped back on Jan. 31, 2006 via FedEx. Received & Signed for by Isotope Products, Feb. 1, 2006. Notified NMSS (Flannery), the R1DO (Trapp) and the R4DO (Spitzberg). 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. |
