| Event Description | The following information was provided by the California Radiation Control Program via email:
The licensee's contract physicist reported that two Cs-137 attenuation correction sources with approximate activities of 13 mCi each were missing when the licensee went to conduct an inventory in March 2025. The licensee has searched their facility but could not locate the sources. California Report ID Number: 072825 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.
