| Title | Lost P-32 Shipment |
| Event Description | The following was received from Iowa Department of Public Health via email:
On February 3, 2021, the University of Iowa received a package from [the common carrier] that was labeled as one of the standing orders of 1 millicurie P-32 dCTP for the Pathology Lab at UIHC [(University of Iowa Health Care)]. The outer label was correct and the packing slip inside was correct, however the contents of the package was actually a prescription of Enbrel intended for an individual in Illinois. Further, the contents had obviously been repacked. It arrived in a large [common carrier] box, much bigger than required for the P-32 order or the Enbrel. Also, the top of the original package that held the P-32 had been torn off and affixed to the replacement box in an adhesive pouch. The licensee contacted both [the common carrier] and the pharmaceutical company that shipped the Enbrel. [The common carrier] returned to retrieve the Enbrel but haven't heard anything about the location of the original P-32 order. Perkin Elmer sent a replacement shipment of P-32 to the licensee. On February 10, 2021, [the common carrier] sent an email to the licensee notifying them that the original shipment of P-32 has not been located and they were closing the case. On March 4, 2021, the Iowa Department of Public Health contacted the University of Iowa Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) and was informed by the RSO that the original shipment of P-32 is still missing. The activity of the P-32 as of March 4, 2021 is approximately 244 microcuries. Item Number: IA210001 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.
