Title	Lost Ammonia Analyzer
Event Description	Cormetech Inc. was unable to locate an ammonia analyzer containing 10mCi of Ni-63 during a routine inspection on April 2, 2009. The manufacturer of the instrument is Environmental Technologies Group. The instrument is a FP-IMS/CEM Ammonia Analyzer Model 221. The licensee is taking action to locate the item but it is believed that the item is lost. NC Incident: 09-21 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. 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
