Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Source
Event Description	The following information was received from the State of New Jersey via facsimile: The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] for this cardiology office called to report a lost/missing Cs-137 dose calibrator vial source. Control of this facility was recently transferred to a medical center. When the new RSO visited the cardiology office to become familiar with it, it was discovered that the Cs-137 source was missing. The source, as listed on the cardiology office's inventory, contained 199.04 uCi [microCuries] of activity as of its calibration date of 9/1/2005. The decayed source would contain approximately 152.2 uCi [microCuries] of activity as of the date of this notification. The manufacturer and model # of the source were not immediately available. The RSO will follow-up with a written report within 30 days. 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.
