On July 31, 2024, NYSDOH performed a full inspection and performed an on-site evaluation of this event. The above information provided indicated that the authorized user in question had their permits administratively terminated and their membership on the university's Radiation Safety Committee revoked because of this event and other compliance issues with the university's Radiation Safety Office. | |||
To date, the Fe-55 source in question is still missing. The radiation safety office (RSO) for the licensee is maintaining vigilance when performing audits and permit reviews for other permit holders to see if this Fe-55 source may be located. Additionally, the RSO has implemented a new inventory management system at their facility to further improve accountability of similar sources to prevent recurrence. NYSDOH was monitoring this incident and assigned incident number 1493 to track this event. At this time, NYSDOH has closed incident number 1493 given the corrective actions from this event but will reopen this incident in the event additional information is obtained or the source is located. The licensee is aware of the reporting requirement in the event additional information on this source is discovered following closeout. | |||

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.
