v t e ENS Event

Title	Probable Loss of 3.3 Mci C-14 in Transit
Event Description	A package of 3.3 mCi of solid form C-14 was picked up at the Kansas City, MO facility by courier Towne Air on February 6, 2009, for shipment to Held & Associates, in Chicago, IL, for further shipping to Bayer Cropscience's research site in Wuppertal, Germany. It has not been received by Held & Associates. On February 10, the licensee inquired with Town Air regarding tracking information. Recent response indicates that recovery of the shipment and its material is considered unlikely. This quantity is more than five orders of magnitude less than the IAEA D value. 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. This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source
