| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Package Containing Ga-67 |
| Event Description | The following was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via fax:
On September 1, 2012, [a common carrier] notified Lantheus that a package was missing. The Yellow III package, containing 175 mCi of Ga-67, was shipped on 8/30/12 from Lantheus and destined to Bogota, Colombia. The package was received in Miami on 8/31/12, but never scanned out of Miami. [The common carrier] believes the package shipped unmanifested to Bogota. The licensee agreed to write a follow-up report. Docket Number: 22-0446 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 |
