Title	Missing Chemical Agent Detector
Event Description	When returning from deployment a Virginia National Guard unit discovered that they had lost a M43A1 Chemical Detector containing 250 uCi of Am-241. The unit searched the facility as well as a storage warehouse located in Richmond, VA for the device, but they were unable to locate it. * * RETRACTION FROM THOMAS GIZICKI TO VINCE KLCO ON 4/5/2012 AT 1201 EDT * * * Retraction due to the detector found in the same location in a different Army unit. Notified the R1DO (Caruso), R3DO (Bloomer) and the FSME (McIntosh). 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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf 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
