| Title | Lost Radiation Shield |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) via email:
BRC received notification from Orlando Health on September 30, 2025, that a depleted uranium shield [weighing 120lbs] was disposed of alongside its Nuclear Medicine Adac Camera model MCD/AC. It was last accounted for in 2014. The shield was likely disposed of [during] the decommission and removal of the camera. No records of the [shield] removal are available. FL Incident #: FL25-097 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.
