The following report was received from the … The following report was received from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection via facsimile:</br>NOTIFICATIONS: On August 13, 2015, Avid Radiopharmaceuticals (a PA licensee) informed the Department (Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection Bureau of Radiation Protection) of a shipment of fluorine-18 (F-18) from IBA Molecular Inc. (a New Jersey radiopharmaceutical licensee) with a maximum surface reading of 210 mR/hr. The event is immediately reportable per 10 CFR 20.1906 and 10 CFR 71.47.</br>EVENT DESCRIPTION: The licensee informed the Department that upon inspection of the package, the following was determined: </br>1. The area along the gap between the lid and the body of the shipping package gave the highest dose rates (180-230 mR/hr).</br>2. The licensee opened the package to (examine) the interior for any damage, but instead determined that the lid of the secondary shield was not present.</br>3. The licensee removed the 'Biodex pig' containing the F-18 activity in a vial to determine damage or contamination. It was observed that the screw top of the 'pig' was not secured properly (the thread of the lid and the body did not align), therefore there was a gap in the shielding. </br>The licensee determined that there was no observable damage to the activity, vial and an absence of removable contamination from the surface of the shipper. The F-18 is in the custody of the licensee.</br>CAUSE OF THE EVENT: Possible human error.</br>ACTIONS: The Department notified New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection Radiation Control Program. Pennsylvania will follow-up during the next routine inspection of Avid.</br>Event Report ID No: PA150023tion of Avid.
