Title	Agreement State Report - Lost or Missing Source
Event Description	The following is a synopses of the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality email notification to the NRC: On February 7, 2020 at 1012 EST, the Alpha-Omega Services, Inc., Radiation Safety Officer, contacted the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality by email to report that a High Dose Rate Ir-192 source cannot be located. The source was in transit to Golden, Colorado and was last located at the Common Carrier hub in Memphis, Tennessee. The source serial number is 02-01-2012-001-012220-11606-02. The current activity of the Ir-192 source is 9.987 Ci. Event Report ID No.: LA20200002 THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Category 3 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for some hours. It could possibly - although it is unlikely - be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. These sources are typically used in practices such as fixed industrial gauges involving high activity sources (for example: level gauges, dredger gauges, conveyor gauges and spinning pipe gauges) and well logging.
