St. Joseph's called the BRC [Bureau of Radiation Control] to notify that a source was unintentionally removed from their facility. | St. Joseph's called the BRC [Bureau of Radiation Control] to notify that a source was unintentionally removed from their facility. They had contracted with North American Philips to trade in an old PET/CT Scanner and replace it with a new one. The licensee had cleared and reserved the room for the contractor to work in for a week. The old scanner had a sealed Cs-137 calibration source inside [16.57 milliCuries], and when the contractor removed it, they did not remove the source and leave it with the licensee as was agreed. The contractor notified the licensee when they realized they had possession of the source. The source is now at the North American Philips site in Nashville, TN. The new PET/CT will not have the referenced source; North American Philips has offered to dispose of it through Bionomics. The licensee has expressed willingness to proceed with that option rather than have the source returned. Since the contractor, rather than the licensee, misappropriated the source, an on-site visit from an inspector is not requested at this time. | ||

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.
