During a shipment from Wilmington, Delaware to Albuquerque, New Mexico, a 0.63 millicurie iron-55 (Fe-55) source was lost or stolen in transit. The last known location was Wilmington, Delaware. The source was shipped on March 27, 2025, and was identified as lost on April 10, 2025. The shipping package was delivered to the intended recipient, but the shipping package was compromised with the source missing. The shipper and the common carrier are investigating. Model Number: FE5VZ29120005M Serial Number: NK772 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.
