| Event Description | The following information was provided by the licensee via phone:
During a recent license renewal inquiry, it was discovered that during the decommissioning of the licensee's deepwater flow line in August 2017 a jumper with a generally licensed meter containing a nuclear source was removed and inadvertently scrapped. This event is under investigation by the licensee. Roxar Flowmeter Model number: RFM-SH7950 Source: Cs-137, 30 mCi General License Number: 725736-16 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.
