Title		Agreement State Report - Report of Lost Static Eliminator
Event Description	The following is a summary of an email from the state of Minnesota: During a lab reorganization, the licensee determined that a static eliminator (Po-210; 6 mCi; Model NRD P-2063; S/N A2LU743) was lost. The licensee presumes it was mistakenly disposed of as electronic waste and sent to a recycling facility some time in August of 2020. The licensee is examining their program to identify process improvements that would prevent future loss of material. The licensee has notified the recycling facility. 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.
