| Title | Lost Telescope Component Tritium Sealed Source |
| Event Description | On December 16, 2003, the US Army shipped a telescope firing component containing a 2.65 curie tritium source via DHL air from Vicenza, Italy to St. Louis MO destined to Siler Instruments, a US Army contractor. The source was discovered missing on January 5, 2004. It was determined that the package did not arrive in Cincinnati, OH, the point of entrance through US Customs. The US Army received a final notice from DHL on January 26, 2004 that the box containing the missing source cannot be located. The Army Health Physicist has contacted NRC Region 3 and is in the process of finalizing the 30-day written report. |
