The following is a summary of information received from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality via email: The lost transportation package from QSA Global containing a Delta 880 Industrial Radiography camera (S/N D15673) containing 106 Curies (3922 GBQ) of Ir-192 was delivered to its intended licensee this morning. Notified: R1DO (Werkheiser), IRMOC (Kennedy), NMSS (Rivera-Capella), INES (Milligan), ILTAB (Roundtree), NMSS Event Notifications (email), DHS SWO, DOE Operations Center, FEMA Operations Center, HHS Operations Center, CISA Central, USDA Operations Center, EPA Emergency Operations Center, FDA Emergency Operations Center (email), FEMA NWC (email), DHS Nuclear SSA (email), and FEMA NRCC SASC (email), CWMD Watch Desk (email). THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Category 2' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.

| ENS 52923 | 24 August 2017 12:19:00 | The following information was received via E-mail: Eagle US 2 LLC in Lake Charles (formerly Westlake Chemicals) called to say they lost a Cs-137 source from a density gauge at 1600 (CDT) Wednesday, August 23, 2017. At purchase, the source was 200 mCi. The source is no longer in the device holder/housing. They surveyed for it and have not located it yet. They are continuing to search for it. Source housing is Ronan Model # SAIC10 and Source Serial Number is Ronan # 9527GG. Louisiana Event Report ID No.: LA20170014 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.
