Title	Agreement State Report - Misplaced Am-241 Source
Event Description	The following report was received via e-mail: The Tennessee Division of Radiological Health was notified on November 22, 2016, of the discovery by Bionomics staff of an Americium-241 source in a shipment to Bionomics of depleted uranium counterweights. The 2 mCi source is reported to be part of an aircraft fuel gauge. Tennessee Event: TN-16-166 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.
