Title	Lost High Dose Rate Source While in Transit
Event Description	The following was received from the state of Louisiana via email: On December 04, 2020, Alpha-Omega Services RSO contacted the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality / Emergency Response Services Division / Radiation Section to report that a High Dose Rate (HDR) Ir-192 source was lost in transit with the commercial carrier. The source was being shipped to Stanford University Medical Center, 820 Quarry Road, Palo Alto, CA 94304. The source serial number is 02-01-2922-001-111120-11438-41. The activity of the Ir-192 source was 11.44 Ci (423.22 GBq) on November 13, 2020 when it was shipped. The source was last tracked in the commercial carrier Memphis, TN Hub on November 14, 2020 at 06:07 am CST. Louisiana Incident Number: LA20200011 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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf Note: This device is assigned an IAEA Category 3 value based on the actual radioactivity of the source, not on the device type. (Reference IAEA RG-G-1.9)
