The packaged source was picked up from Glens Falls Hospital in Glens Falls, New York by a representative of the common carrier on August 21, 2017. The destination of the source was to Alpha-Omega Services in Vinton, Louisiana for disposal. The source arrived at the common carrier's local station in Manands, New York on August 22, 2017.
