Title	Agreement State Report - Lost Gauging Source
Event Description	The following was sent by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency (IEMA) via email: The Corporate H & S Mgr. [Health & Safety Manager] at PepsiCo/Quaker Oats reported the loss of an ATl-100S/500 microCurie [Sr-90] general licensed gauging source (SN 30056). They were doing leak tests this morning and found that the whole packaging unit had been removed presumably by Dudek Scrap during a remodel some time ago. They are checking on dates and will contact the scrap dealer to try and find it. IEMA inspectors plan to investigate on 2/6/20 to confirm details at the user's site and also will visit the scrap yard to see if the source is recoverable. At the moment this is considered an accidental loss due to poor oversight and is not related to any criminal theft or diversion. Item Number: IL200004 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.
