| Title | Agreement State Report - Iridium-192 Source Missing During Shipment |
| Event Description | A representative from the Massachusetts Radiation Control Program called to report information he had received concerning a missing Iriduim-192 Category 3 source shipment that was being imported to QSA Global in Burlington, Massachusetts from Australia. The shipment had cleared customs at JFK and was being stored at a warehouse near JFK (Air Menzies Aviation). On the evening of 11/15/12, the package was scheduled to be picked up at the warehouse, however, it could not be found. At this point the shipment is considered missing. QSA currently believes that the package is simply misplaced at this time. QSA and the carrier continue to search for the package.
The source was found by the licensee at an alternate location. Notified R1DO (Dwyer), ILTAB (Hahn) and FSME Event Resource (Email). THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Category 3 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for some hours. It could possibly - although it is unlikely - be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. These sources are typically used in practices such as fixed industrial gauges involving high activity sources (for example: level gauges, dredger gauges, conveyor gauges and spinning pipe gauges) and well logging.
