Title	Lost Source
Event Description	The following information was received from the Georgia Radioactive Material Program via email: On or about 9/21/23, a Filtec model FT-50C, containing 100 mCi of Am-241, was mistakenly placed into a scrap dumpster on-site by an employee of Shasta Beverages, Inc. The gauge was taken off-site in the scrap dumpster by a scrap collection company. The scrap company is unsure of which of two locations the dumpster was taken, a recycling facility or a scrap yard. This report serves as initial notification and will be followed up with additional information. Georgia Incident Number: 78 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.
