| Title | Agreement State Report - Transportation Accident |
| Event Description | The following is a synopsis of information received from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency via email:
On July 29, 2019, there was a vehicle accident while transporting medical radioactive materials near Tinley Park, IL. There was no release of material nor contaminated individuals. Details are pending from the licensee. This is a reportable incident under 32 Ill. Adm. Code 341.10(b)(5) as detailed in 49 CFR Part 171.15. Initial reports indicate at least one diagnostic radiopharmaceutical unit dose and a Co-57 sheet source were in transit at the time of the accident. Leak tests are pending, but initial surveys and an assessment of the radiopharmaceuticals indicates no escape of licensed material outside of the ammo can in which they were being transported. Serial number and leak test results of the sheet source as well as a description of the RAM in transit are pending. Licensee staff have reportedly taken possession of the licensed material and conducted surveys to ensure public safety. Illinois Event Report ID: IL190024 |
