We [Wisconsin Department of Health] have an immediately reportable event under DHS 157.32(1)(a)1 regarding stolen, lost or missing material that is equal to or greater than 1,000 times the quantity specified in Appendix F. A phone message was left with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services at 1631 [CST] on February 8, 2017 [concerning] found radioactive material. The message was returned this morning, February 9, 2017 and the following information has been gathered. An NDC System 101 thickness gauge (SSD CA0471D102B), containing 150 mCi of Am-241 was recovered at a scrap yard in Wisconsin. The device was received in a load of scrap originating from Bemis Corporation in Neenah Wisconsin. The device, with serial number 11125, with 150 mCi of Am-241 assayed on 12/28/2009 is generally licensed to Bemis Corporation. The device was separated out of a load at Alter Trading in Green Bay Wisconsin. The State is currently in contact with both Alter Trading and Bemis Corporation to coordinate a response. An individual at Alter measured up to 3000 microR/h with their survey meter. The department will verify this measurement and determine if there is any contamination or personnel exposure. The department has dispatched staff to the site for response and to help facilitate transfer of the device to the owner. | We [Wisconsin Department of Health] have an immediately reportable event under DHS 157.32(1)(a)1 regarding stolen, lost or missing material that is equal to or greater than 1,000 times the quantity specified in Appendix F.
