Title	Agreement State - Colorado - Lost Check Source
Event Description	The State provided the following information via facsimile: A licensee, TSA Systems, Ltd., Colorado License #285-01, notified the Department on this date that a 2.1 microcurie Cf-252 source was missing. The source, manufactured by Isotope Products Laboratories, is a Model A3014 with Serial #B2-833. The licensee's representative stated that they continue to search their facility for the source which is used for instrument response checks and calibrations. No other details are available at this time. The Department has initiated an investigation. 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.
