| Title | Agreement State Report - Missing Generally Licensed Ni-63 Source |
| Event Description | The following information was received via E-mail:
The licensee indicated that during a lab remodel, an employee removed a Gas Chromatograph (GC) containing a 13.81 mCi, Ni-63 source, Serial Number M2093, a license distributed under general license. The GC was then sent to surplus. The device was then purchased by an unknown party, on an as yet to be determined date. The radiation safety team last physically inventoried the device on August 2, 2017. The current location of the device is unknown. Utah Event Report ID No.: UT180001 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.
