| Event Description | The follow was received from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (Wisconsin DHS) via email:
On April 8, 2021, the licensee's [Radiation Safety Officer] RSO reported a missing QSA global model 880 D exposure device containing a 28.9 Ci selenium-75 source. The package was shipped Monday April 5, 2021 via [the common carrier] from Neenah, WI to another Acuren location in Kingsport, TN. The package was shipped `overnight' with the intent to be delivered on Tuesday April 6, 2021. The package was reported delayed by [the common carrier] at Memphis, TN facility during the week. Then package arrived on Thursday April 8, 2021, damaged and without the shipped contents. Package weight information gathered as [the common carrier] handled the packaged indicates that the package contents were separated before final delivery, the exact location is unknown at the time of this report. The licensee is in contact with [the common carrier] and device manufacture QSA to locate the device and source. Wisconsin DHS will monitor efforts to locate the device and coordinated with other jurisdictions as necessary. Event Report No.: WI210002 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.
