| Title | Source Lost in Transit |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the New Jersey Radiation Materials Program (RMP) via email:
On 2/7/2023, RMP staff was notified via the radiation safety officer that a Cardiogen generator with 100 mCi of Sr-82 and 71 mCi of Sr-85 was considered lost in transit by the common carrier. On 1/31/2023, the licensee sent the generator to a customer via a common carrier. Due to delays, the licensee's logistics team contacted the common carrier for a status update on the generator. On 2/7/2023, it was declared lost and its last location was at the common carrier hub in Memphis, TN." New Jersey Incident Number: TBD 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.
