The following is a summary of information … The following is a summary of information received from the Georgia Radioactive Material Program (the Department) via email:</br>The licensee's Assistant Director of Radiation Safety contacted the Department on February 1, 2024, at 1700 EST, to report a missing source. He stated he was notified that morning that a germanium-68 Phantom, for use with a PET/MRI (positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging) machine was reported missing. It has a reference activity of 55 MBq / 1.5mCi. During a follow up call from the Department, the Assistant Director stated the source was delivered and accounted for Monday, January 29, 2024, then reported missing February 1, 2024. The source was in a restricted area and locked in the hot lab. The Assistant Director stated they have created a police report and are awaiting surveillance footage. The licensee believes it may have been thrown away accidentally, therefore they are also searching their dumpsters.</br>Georgia Incident Number: 77</br>* * * UPDATE ON 02/06/24 AT 1428 EST FROM STACY ALLMAN TO NATALIE STARFISH * * *</br>The following is a summary of information received from the Georgia Radioactive Material Program (the Department) via email:</br>The Assistant Director of Radiation Safety contacted the Department on 02/02/24 to provide an update on the steps being taken to find the lost source.
