SMH is a client/customer of A&O in association with ELEKTA. SMH purchased and attempted to possess the radioactive source under a license NRC 08-07398-03. A&O packaged the Ir-192 source and addressed it to SMH, Dept. of Radiation Oncology, 5255 Loughboro Road NW, Washington, DC 20016. The source was shipped from the (A&O) Vinton, LA address to SMH on August 31, 2015.
