On February 14th, 2019, a written report was received from Cardinal Health detailing the events of a lost package containing 180.3 microCi (shipped activity) Ra-223. The package was lost in transit on February 11th, the intended recipient was in Savannah, GA. The courier for the package was a [Common Carrier]. A search by the [Common Carrier] located the package on the side of the road on February 12th in the Savannah, GA area. Regional Cardinal Health technicians were dispatched to the found package and determined that the transport index was as expected and the package indicated no removable contamination. Cardinal Health took possession of the package for decay-in-storage. CO Event Report ID No.: CO190002 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.
