The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control was notified via telephone on 11/18/2019 that two Ba-133 sources (Isotope Product Laboratories Model PHI-133 GFS series, serial numbers XX-621 and XX-622) contained in a Marconi Medical Systems BEACON non-uniform attenuation correction device (Model N211xxx series source housing) attached to a Marconi Axis camera were lost and could not be found. According to the licensee's report, on 04/18/2017 the camera was de-installed by a vendor and shipped to a scrap metal dealer in North Carolina. The estimated activity at deinstallation on 04/18/17 was 2.4 mCi total. Details of the event were provided to the North Carolina Agreement State Program on 12/18/2019. This event was entered into NMED in 2019, the NMED reference number 200018. 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.
