| Event Description | The Solo Cup Company contacted the State of Texas concerning two 20.25 milliCurie Am-241 static eliminator sources that are missing. The Solo Cup company was unable to locate the sources following a request by the manufacturer (NRD) to return them as part of a source recall. The source serial numbers are SA-3232 and SA-3242. Model A-2003.
The State investigation of the missing sources is in progress. TX Report I-8511 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. |
