| Event Description | The following report was received from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation Division of Radiological Health via email:
Licensee reported that a gauge with a 100 mCi Co-60 source was missing from a shipment with a carrier. Licensee accounted for the source upon leaving the licensee's facility. Licensee states that source is still in carrier's warehouse in Knoxville, TN, or in route to another site in Louisiana. Licensee is investigating warehouse and transport. A follow-up report will be sent upon receiving further information; this will include model number, activity, and shipping information. TN State Event Report ID No.: TN-16-111 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.
