| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Static Eliminator Source |
| Event Description | The following information was received by email:
Event Description: On July 14, 2016, 3M Corporate Health Physics was notified by laboratory personnel that a static eliminator could not be located during a semiannual physical inventory. The static eliminator is an NRD model P-2001 with an initial activity of 9.56 mCi on September 1, 2015 (activity on July 21, 2016 was 1.89 mCi). The room was recently renovated and the contents of the room were moved to another building with some contents moved to a 3M Distribution Center. Both buildings and the distribution center were searched, but the source was not located. 3M Corporate Health Physics notified the Minnesota Department of Health on July 21, 2016 of the missing static eliminator. Minnesota Event: MN160002 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.
