| Title | Six Chemical Agent Monitors Containing Ni-63 Reported Missing |
| Event Description | During a recent inventory check at MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, six Chemical Agent Monitors (15 milliCuries each) containing Ni-63 were found to be missing. In February 2002, these devices were scheduled to be shipped to Kimhae, Korea. The monitors were submitted to the shipping department at that time. During an inventory check in May 2003, it was determined that these sources could not be found in either Korea or MacDill AFB. The U.S. Air Force is unsure whether the materials were lost after the shipment commenced or whether the materials were even shipped at all.
Searches at a MacDill AFB warehouse are scheduled for next week in an attempt to locate these devices. The licensee notified NRC Region IV. |
