AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST HANDHELD TRACE DETECTOR CONTAINING NI-63 SOURCE
The following information was received via facsimile:
On the evening of March 11, 2014, the LA Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) received a notification from Louisiana State University (LSU) that they had sent a Smiths Detection model Sabre 5000 handheld trace detector, containing 15 mCi of Ni-63, to the manufacturer for repairs. The device was sent by common carrier. The device was repaired and sent back to the common carrier's distribution center. The common carrier's records show that on December 20, 2013 at 1832 CST, the device was delivered and left at the front door of 3south LLC, the local distributor of Smiths Detection products. The records at 3south do not show receipt of the device. A claim was filed and the resolution took several weeks. The device was never located by the common carrier or the local distributor. The device was replaced by Smiths Detection.
DEQ considers this event closed.
Louisiana Event Report ID No.: LA-140002
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.
