Title | Agreement State Report - Stolen Source |
Event Description | The following report was received from the Arizona Department of Health Services (Department) via email:
The Department received notification from the licensee that they reported their RMD XRF Lead-Based Paint Analyzer, serial number 1115, stolen on January 29, 2020. The analyzer possesses approximately 1 milliCurie of Co-57. The licensee shipped the equipment to Protec Instrument Corporation in Waltham, MA for resourcing. It was received by Protec Instruments on September 11, 2019. Since that date, the licensee stated that they have not heard from the company and have called and left messages for months with no response. The licensee contacted their equipment insurance company to process a claim and were told that they would need to report the equipment stolen. They reported the equipment stolen to the Flagstaff Police Department and the report number is P20-01171. The Department has requested additional information and continues to investigate the event. Arizona Incident: 20-001 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.
