AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST PACKAGE OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
The following information was received from the State of Colorado via email:
"Cardinal Health 414, LLC reported a lost package of Ra-223 in transit via [a common carrier]. The amount shipped was 11.4075 MBq (0.3083 mCi). The intended destination was Valley View Hospital in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. [The common carrier] is currently investigating the location of the package."
Colorado Event Report ID No.: CO180014
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.
