We (licensee) are writing to notify the NR … We (licensee) are writing to notify the NRC that W.L. Gore in Wall, NJ has lost a NUCLECEL ion air gun cartridge (P2021- 8000 NIJCLECEL Ionizing cartridge S/N A2FR150) manufactured by NRD, LLC. We (licensee) use these devices to eliminate static from our finished medical product components. The device is a fully contained sealed source alpha emitter sealed in gold and silver for maximum protection and risk minimization. The Source is Po-210 at a 10 milliCuries level. This letter is being written to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR 20.2201.</br>The static eliminator was lost on approximately March 9, 2008. Theft of the device is highly unlikely with no breaks on record during the period. While associates had been trained on safe care and use of the device, someone accidentally disposed of the device, and it could not be recovered. Follow-up safety training on safe use and return of the devices was conducted again in March 2008. A thorough department-wide search, including trash containers and dumpsters, was coordinated.</br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>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.
