Title	Agreement State Report - Possible Lost Radioactive Material
Event Description	The following was received from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) via e-mail: The licensee reported at approximately 1530 hrs. [MDT] of August 1, 2019 to CDPHE that there was a package in the morning of August 1, 2019, with its shipping paper indicating two vials of Lu-177 (200 mCi). The licensee only has 1 vial in possession and the nuclear medicine technician who opened the package did not remember seeing two vials in the package. The package has been disposed of in the hospital dumpster before the licensee identified this. The licensee surveyed the dumpster but did not identify any source of Lu-177. The licensee contacted the vendor and is awaiting more information from the vendor regarding whether a second vial was ever shipped from the vendor to the licensee." Colorado Event Report No: CO190015 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.
