| Title | Agreement State Report - Radioactive Material Delivered to Private Residence |
| Event Description | The following was received via facsimile:
[Maine Radiation Control Program (MRCP)] was called by [Chase Environmental] at 1935 [EDT] on 7/14/2016. [Chase Environmental] had been contacted (indirectly) by HAZ-MAT One regarding a radiological emergency in Waterford, Maine. [Chase Environmental] had contacted HAZ-MAT One directly and was told that a radioactive package had been delivered, incorrectly, to a private address. [Chase Environmental] was told the package was intact and that the shipping company (YRC) was going to retrieve the package and get it to its addressed location. When [MRCP] contacted HAZ-MAT One on the morning of 7/15/2016, they reported that the correct delivery address for the package was QSA Global in Burlington, MA and that the private residence had ordered a lawn mower. [MRCP] contacted QSA and informed them of the package that was coming and asked the particulars of the package. [MRCP] contacted YRC Freight to obtain more information regarding the package and got the tracking number for the package and that it had been retrieved and was enroute to the YRC terminal in Westbrook, Maine by roughly 1000 [EDT]. [MRCP] called [QSA Global] and gave them the tracking number, then tracked the package and found that it had been delivered to Waterford Maine on or about 6/15/2016. [QSA Global] called [MRCP] back and informed [MRCP] that the package was a 650 source exchanger, with a six (6) curie Iridium 192 source in it from Guatemala. The package had evidently fallen into the box or crate of a lawn mower during shipment and been delivered to the Waterford, Maine address. Additional information regarding dose reconstruction and leak test/package condition will be forthcoming when the package gets to QSA Global in the next few business days.
