| Title | Agreement State Report - Lost Po-210 Source |
| Event Description | The following was received from the state of North Carolina Division of Radiation Control by facsimile:
On February 16, 2012, the Section [North Carolina Division of Radiation Control] received a letter from the RSO for Carolina Custom Finishing LLC, License Number: 076-1820-0G, [stating] that on February 13, 2012, [the licensee] could not find a Po-210 source, 10 mCi, Model P-2021, S/N A2HL674. [This source is contained in] a static eliminator used for painting customer parts. [The RSO] performed an inspection and area survey of the facility on February 22, 2012 and could not locate the above source. NC Incident Number: 12-25 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. For additional information go to http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/publications/PDF/Pub1227_web.pdf This source is not amongst those sources or devices identified by the IAEA Code of Conduct for the Safety & Security of Radioactive Sources to be of concern from a radiological standpoint. Therefore is it being categorized as a less than Category 3 source |
