| Title | Missing Static Eliminator Device |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) via email:
On January 10, 2022, DHS received a letter from the licensee stating that a generally licensed static eliminator device, originally shipped to them November 2, 2020, had been missing since November 2021. Activity data was not provided; however, DHS records indicate that all devices at this location contain 10 mCi of Po-210 upon receipt. The licensee did not answer the phone to confirm the written notification information. DHS will continue attempts to contact the licensee and a site inspection will be performed as soon as practical. Wisconsin Event Number: WI220001 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.
