Title	Florida Agreement State Report - Loss of Control of Reference Sources
Event Description	State of Florida Bureau of Radiation Control reported that the licensee, Indian River Radiology, sold two gamma cameras to another entity. By mistake, the purchaser of the cameras also took the reference sources that are used for calibrations. The sources will be returned to the licensee (seller) by Wednesday, June 4, 2008. This is considered a loss of control of radioactive material. The sources each contained 20 mCi of Cs-137 and 250 mCi of Gd-153. Florida Incident Number: FL08-083 * * UPDATE FROM STEVE FURNACE TO HOWIE CROUCH @1651 HRS. ON 6/3/08 * * * The State of Florida amended the report to state that the Cs-137 source was 30 mCi in strength as of 1 MAY 1999 and is used as a PET scan source, not a reference source. The Gd-153 source was 250 mCi on 1 DEC 2004. They are encouraging the expedited return of the sources to the licensee. Notified R1DO (Henderson) and FSME EO (Chang).
