| Title | Missing Static Eliminator |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the New York Department of Health via email:
Tesla reported that one of their Polonium-210 static eliminators is missing. The device is a NRD model P-2021-Z705, s/n A2ME848. The device was shipped to Tesla on 2/23/21. The device has been through more than six half-lives so the activity at this point should be below 0.1 millicurie. New York State Event Report Number: NY-23-07 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.
