Title	Lost Depleted Uranium Projectile
Event Description	The licensee was conducting a test fire exercise at the Ford Farms section of the Aberdeen Test Center when a depleted uranium penetrator projectile went off it's intended flight path, exited the building, and landed in an area near the facility designated to receive test rounds. Ford Farms is an indoor hard target test facility. There were no injuries or projected dose to workers or the public. No additional effort will be made to recover the projectile because the projectile landed in a historic impact area of Aberdeen containing various other unexploded ordinance. 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.
