ENS 4171318 May 2005 17:31:00A representative for the Navy's master materials license reported several chemical agent detectors missing based on the most recent inventory cycle. Specifically, 4 Chemical Agent Monitors (CAMs) are missing, with each CAM utilizing a 10 milliCurie Nickel-63 plated source (SSND# NR-1129-D-103-S) (40 millicuries of Ni-63 total). In addition, 1 Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarm (ACADA) containing two 10 milliCurie Ni-63 plated sources (SSND# NR-1129-D-101-S) is also missing (20 millicuries of Ni-63 total). These detectors have been reported missing from Marine Corp units deployed in Iraq. Details of the times, locations, and circumstances under which the detectors went missing are still under investigation by the Navy .
ENS 4154129 March 2005 09:54:00A representative for the Navy's master materials license reported a number of chemical agent detectors missing based on the two most recent inventory cycles. Specifically, 27 Chemical Agent Monitors (CAMs) that utilize a 10 milliCurie Nickel-63 plated source (SSND# NR-1129-D-103-S) are missing (270 millicuries of Ni-63 total). In addition, 11 Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarms (ACADAs) with two 10 milliCurie Ni-63 plated sources in each detector (SSND# NR-1129-D-101-S) are missing (220 millicuries of Ni-63 total). The majority of these detectors have been reported missing from Marine Core Logistics Base in Albany, GA. However, a number of these detectors have been distributed to Marine Expeditionary Units in the field. Details of the times, locations, and circumstances under which the detectors went missing are still under investigation by the Navy and will be reported in a followup 30-day written report. The licensee has contacted the NRC Regional Inspector (Masnyk-Bailey) and HQ contact (Bhachu).
ENS 4160818 April 2005 10:48:00A representative for the Navy's master material license reported two chemical agent detectors were missing since their last audit on 9/30/2003. One detector was a Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarms (ACADA) which has 230 microcuries of Am241 with a surface exposure of 0.4 millirem/hr. The identification number is SSND -NR-1065-D-101-E. The other detector was a hand held vapor detector containing a 10 microCurie Ni63 source with identification number SSND-NR-0399-D-101-E. The licensee was informed by a supply room person that the detectors were assigned to the USS Fletcher on 9/30/03, and have not been accounted for since.
