A Cs-137 source (184.3 microcuries) was discovered missing at the Reception and Medical Center (RMC) of the Lake Butler Nuclear Medicine Department, at the Lake Butler Department of Corrections (DOC). The medical center is contracted to operate under Jacksonville Cardiovascular Center. The building is a modular trailer. The missing source was noted during a scheduled inventory. The source is believed to have been moved or relocated by the DOC during construction to repair a collapsed floor. The source is believed to be somewhere in the trailer. Florida Incident Number: FL21-122 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.
