The current general licensee, M/A-COM Technology Solutions, Inc., at the same location of the former, original general licensee, Tyco Electronics M/A-COM, at 100 Chelmsford Street, in Lowell, Massachusetts has no knowledge of the location of one static elimination device. The device had been used in a process that was terminated in 2007. The facility has been searched and employees and past employees have been questioned. The general licensee has declared the device as missing. The Agreement State has contacted the distributor and determined that the device was not returned to them.

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.
