On 19 June 2009, TTM Technologies in Redmo … On 19 June 2009, TTM Technologies in Redmond was contacted as part of a routine check of their inventory of generally licensed devices. It was discovered at this time that the facility was closing and that the gauges and static eliminators had been sent to TTM Technologies facilities in other states. TTM Technologies has since tracked down as many of the missing devices as possible. Those facilities that have received sources have been informed of the reporting requirements and regulations surrounding those generally licensed devices. NRD, Inc. was contacted to see if any of the remaining unaccounted for sources had been returned to them. They have not been. The remaining missing sources are being reported as lost.</br>This report lists eight devices/sources. A ninth device/source (exactly the same as number 8 except for the serial number) is being included here instead. This device/source is serial number A2CK423. Seven of the nine devices/sources are Po-210 static eliminators and have gone through more than ten half-lives. The other two devices are sources of Pm-147 in beta backscatter gauges and have gone through approximately 8 half-lives. It is therefore concluded that the missing sources are of little threat to human health and safety.</br>Source of Radiation:</br>Source Number: 1</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PM-147</br>Source Use: OTHER </br>Activity:0.9E-3 Ci 0.0333 GBq</br>Manufacturer: OXFORD INSTRUMENT</br>Model Number: GM-1</br>Serial Number: 75125P</br>Source Number: 2</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PM-147</br>Source Use: OTHER </br>Activity:0.6E-3 Ci 0.0222 GBq</br>Manufacturer: OXFORD INSTRUMENT</br>Model Number: GM-1</br>Serial Number: 65986P</br>Source Number: 3</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.05513 Ci 2.03981 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2001</br>Serial Number: A2EA910</br>Source Number: 4</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.05513 Ci 2.03981 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2001</br>Serial Number: A2BM653</br>Source Number: 5</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.05513 Ci 2.03981 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2021</br>Serial Number: A2DY847</br>Source Number: 6</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.010 Ci 0.37 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2021</br>Serial Number: A2CE789</br>Source Number: 7</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.010 Ci 0.37 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2021</br>Serial Number: A2BM653</br>Source Number: 8</br>Form of Radioactive Material: SEALED SOURCE </br>Radionuclide: PO-210</br>Source Use: STATIC ELIMINATOR </br>Activity:0.010 Ci 0.37 GBq</br>Manufacturer: NRD, INC</br>Model Number: P-2021</br>Serial Number: A2CK423</br>Corrective Actions: 1 Personnel received additional training.</br>Washington state reporting requirement WAC 246-221-240 </br>Washington Report No: WA090061</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.
