| Title | Radioactive Sources Not Removed Prior to Shipment |
| Event Description | A Mountainside Hospital representative informed us that a nuclear medicine camera was mistakenly transported with 28 Gadolinium-153 sources inside the camera. The total source activity is 20 millicuries and the calculated source strength is approximately 2 milliRem/hr at 1 meter. The representative contacted the driver transporting the camera, who was at the Pennsylvania/Ohio border, notified him that radioactive sources were inside the camera and requested he return the camera and sources back to Mountainside Hospital.
Established a conference call with R1 (George Pangburn, Pam Henderson, John White), NMSS (Bill Brach, Joe Holonich), and NSIR (Phil Brochman).
