| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Iodine 125 Calibration Sources |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of New York via Facsimile:
A New York Licensee's RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] left voice mail on March 5, Sunday afternoon, stating that he was informed on the evening of the previous day (March 4, 2017) that 2 vials containing 15 seeds of I-125 that were to be used for calibration purposes were missing from their inventory. The total activity of the 15 seeds was reported to be less than 7 mCi. The surface exposure rates at the exterior of the lead shielded vials was stated to be at background radiation levels. The AU [Authorizing User] physician and the RSO conducted a thorough search on March 5, 2017, but and were unable to locate the seeds. DOH will staff became aware of the event earlier this morning [March 6, 2017] on arrival at work. Will update after following up with the licensee. NY State Event Report ID NO. NYDOH-NY-17-05 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.
