| Title | Lost Fill Level Monitors |
| Event Description | ConAgra Foods, Inc. reported that while performing a physical walkdown verification to meet reporting requirements for 2013, three Peco Controls Corporation model Gamma 101P fill level monitors could not be located. After further checking, one of the unaccounted for monitors was found to be in the possession of a vendor where it had been sent in exchange for a replacement. However, two of the monitors remain unaccounted for at this time.
Details on the two monitors are as follows: Peco Controls Corporation, Model - Gamma 101P, Serial Number - G001768549, with a 100 mCi Am-241 source. Peco Controls Corporation, Model - Gamma 101P, Serial Number - G002318648, with a 100 mCi Am-241 source. ConAgra states that these monitors had not been in service for several years. The report issued for 2012, which was dated 12/20/2012, indicated that all monitors were accounted for at that time. ConAgra is continuing to search for the two unaccounted for monitors. The licensee notified R3(Pelke). 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.
