| Event Description | Replacement camera sources were properly delivered by the common carrier to St. Mary's Hospital located in Jefferson City, Missouri. The sources were received by the Biomed Hospital Imaging Specialist and placed in the biomed office. Currently, the package containing the sources is missing. The licensee investigation continues. Sources are two Gd-153 (10 mCi each) and two Co-57 (0.5 microCi each).
This event is being retracted. The sources were discovered to be delivered to SSM Hospital's biomed office instead of nuclear medicine. The sources were secured and in control of the SSM Hospital at all times. There were no exposures to personnel. The licensee notified NRC Region 3 (Warren). Notified R3DO (Stoedter) and NMSS Events Notification and ILTAB via email. THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 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.
