A representative of Source Production & … A representative of Source Production & Equipment Company (SPEC) notified the NRC that an 8 curie Selenium-75 source was missing from a shipment of 6 sources received at SPEC sometime around March 12, 2010. The shipment of 6 total special form (solid) Se-75 sources were shipped from Gilligan Engineering in Prudoe, England on March 9, 2010 and 5 of the 6 sources were received by SPEC. The licensee considers the source missing at this time but has not exhausted its search. </br>The State of Louisiana has been notified. In addition, SPEC has contacted the shipment carrier to investigate the shipment tracking and determine if the single missing source might have been misdirected. The shipment was believed to have entered the US in Memphis, TN via air freight from England.</br>THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL</br>Category 3 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 some hours. It could possibly - although it is unlikely - be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. These sources are typically used in practices such as fixed industrial gauges involving high activity sources (for example: level gauges, dredger gauges, conveyor gauges and spinning pipe gauges) and well logging.
