Title	Agreement State Report - Found Source
Event Description	The following is a synopses of a report received from the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (the Division) via email: On January 21, 2020, a licensee left a message for the Division that a source had been found lying outside of the locked gate of one of the licensee's facilities. The licensee reported that it was not their source, but they moved it inside of their facility in order to secure the source and keep a member of the public from finding it. The licensee did not have much information regarding the source when staff spoke with them, but sent a picture of the source that was found. The picture showed a small can labeled with a Beckman Instruments, Inc. label. The label stated that the can contained 40 microcuries of Cs-137 assayed on July 30, 1981. The label was consistent with a generally licensed source and appeared to have been manufactured in CA. The licensee did not know where the source came from or why it was deposited close to their entrance gate. A member of the Division's staff will go to the licensee's facility tomorrow to read the serial number and the full label from the can. Utah Event Report ID #: UT200001
