The following report was received via emaiThe following report was received via email from the Georgia Radioactive Material Program (the Department):</br>On Thursday, August 31, 2023, the radiation safety officer (RSO) reported two missing solution standard sources of Am-241, 1.0 microcurie each (37 kBq each) to the Department. These two sources were lost during transportation to Nuclear Fuel Services located in Erwin, Tennessee on June 2, 2023. The customer, Nuclear Fuel Services, notified the licensee that they did not receive the shipment package. The RSO contacted the common carrier to trace its whereabouts. On June 26, 2023, the common carrier's records show that the shipment was signed for by an individual at Nuclear Fuel Services. However, Nuclear Fuel Services confirmed that they did not receive this shipment. There is a communication discrepancy between the common carrier and Nuclear Fuel Services. Currently, the licensee is waiting for a detailed response from the customer regarding this shipment.</br>Georgia Incident Report Number: 69</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. 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.
