| Title | Agreement State Report for Lost/Stolen Source |
| Event Description | On October 30, 2003, during a routine inventory of sources, it was discovered that a Nickel-63 electron capture source that had been in storage since January 23, 1996, was missing. An exhaustive search of source storage areas did not locate the source. However, upon questioning employees that had access to the source storage area, one employee recalled that the source in question had been picked up by a Health Physics Technician from the manufacturer, it was believed during the year 1998. The manufacturer denies having the source picked. A search of paperwork is ongoing to locate a transfer document, if one exists. |
