Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Control of 2 Millicuries of Ir-192
Event Description	The licensee provided the following information via facsimile: This is initial notification that the Department is investigating an incident involving licensed radioactive material that was discovered at a [Grand Junction, CO] landfill on 4/13/07. Apparently, a licensee using radioactive materials for subsurface well tracing activities lost control of 4-10 bottles of resin bead waste containing Ir-192. Radiation readings taken on the waste containers indicated about 2 millirem per hour at one meter. The company believed to be responsible for the waste, Protechnics, responded to the scene and removed the material to their facility for decay. So far, there is no indication that any members of the public were exposed to radiation in excess of established limits. An investigation is in progress.
