Title	Lost Radioactive Source
Event Description	The following information was provided by the California Radiation Control Program (RHB) via email: On 7/12/23, Tesla, San Rafael facility contacted RHB to report a lost radioactive source. The lost item was a Po-210, 10 mCi source, Model P-2021-Z705, serial number A2LZ130 (air-gun), originally shipped to the facility by NRD, LLC on 5/8/2020, (based on this information, current activity is approximately 26 microcuries). The source was used to blow dust off of auto body panels and prevent static buildup prior to painting. The employees at the shop could not provide an estimate of when the last time the device was used and believe that the device may have been disposed of in the trash. Facility will be transitioning to an anti-static tool that does not utilize a radioactive source. 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.
