Title	Lost Static Eliminator
Event Description	The following information was received from the state of Minnesota via email: It has come to our attention during our IMPEP review that we have some events that were not directly reported to the HOO as required. They were reported to NMED, but we are now reporting them directly to the HOO. New Flyer reported the loss of a static elimination device (NRD model P-2021, serial #A2KY665) that contained a 370 MBq (10 milliCi) Po-210 source. While New Flyer was preparing to replace their devices, they discovered that one device was missing. They performed an investigation, which included searching the painters' lockers and totes, but were unable to find the device. The manufacturer was notified. The cause of the event was determined to be lack of procedure. Corrective actions included connecting static elimination devices to dedicated air lines to ensure they will not be misplaced. Minnesota event number: 180001 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.
