Title	Agreement State Report - Generator Lost in Transit
Event Description	The following was received from the state of George via e-mail: On January 17, 2019, GE Healthcare in Atlanta (GA 1166-1) consigned a Mo-99/Tc-99m generator (5.14 mCi at the time of shipment) to [common carrier] for delivery to Medi-Ray in Tuckahoe, NY for recycling (the trip included a transit stop in Charlotte, NC). As of March 20, 2019, the device has not arrived at its final destination. On March 18, 2019, [the common carrier] formally notified GE Healthcare that the device was lost in transit. This information was received on March 20, 2019. 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.
