Title	Missing Static Eliminators
Event Description	The following was received via e-mail from the Texas Department of Health Services: On April 30, 2021, Biomerics reported the loss of eleven static eliminators (NRD model P-2042-1000) Serial Numbers: A2LD792, A2LD794, A2LD795, A2LD799, A2LD803, A2JQ929, A2KT72, A2EZ959, A2EZ960, A2EZ961 and A2EZ962. Each device contained a 185 MBq (5 mCi) Po-210 source. The devices were received from NRD Advanced Static Control from April 5, 2006 to November 21, 2017. The company was supposed to ship used devices to NRD Advanced Static Control. Biomerics searched the areas where these parts were used and during the course of moving equipment, it is apparent that these devices were thrown away. More information will be provided as it is obtained in accordance with SA-300. Texas Event Number: 75751 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.
