The following report was received via e-mail:
"On April 13, 2015, the Agency [Texas Department of State Health Services] was notified by a landfill operator that material in a waste container set off their radiation alarms. The landfill provided a spectrum which showed the isotope as Cesium-137. An on-site investigation by this Agency confirmed the material to be dirt/mud contaminated with Cesium-137. The waste material at the landfill was isolated. The waste collection route sheet used to collect the waste was requested by the Agency. The Agency drove the route traveled by the collection vehicle using an RSI identifier in an attempt to locate the source of the contamination. The detector indicated the presence of radiation in a bar ditch along the intersection of two streets northeast of the City of Houston. Surveys conducted by the Agency identified a reading of 16 millirem on contact with the ground in one spot. Additional surveys indicated additional activity as far as 70 feet from the spot previously mentioned. The Agency received cost estimates from contractors to collect the material from both areas for proper disposal. The city of Houston had been contacted about the contamination and the steps that had been taken by the Agency. The City of Houston decided since the area of contamination was in their jurisdiction, they would be responsible for the remediation of the area. The Agency returned to the area on the evening of May 26, 2015, to inspect the area. The Agency discovered the road the bar ditch was running along had been closed by the city at both ends. There are no homes or businesses that require access to this section of road. The contractor was contacted on May 29, 2015. He stated they had begun work on remediating the area on May 21, 2015. He stated the road was blocked by the Houston City Works Department on that day. He stated they had dug down about 3 feet from the original surface of the ditch. He stated readings on contact at that location are 1 rem/hr. He stated they had come across a water line while they were digging and that it has restricted their use of tools. He stated that due to the dose rates they are seeing now (1 rem/hr) they are now using a low pressure water blaster to excavate the area. He stated they are sucking the water into barrels and monitoring the suction line for dose rates. He stated they would contact the state once the source has been located.
"On May 29, 2015, the Agency decided that due to the city closing the road to any access, the event should be reported to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Headquarters Operations Officer (HOO.)"
Event location: Near the intersection of Sunbury and Bacher Streets.
Texas Event: I-9303
* * * UPDATE ON 10/23/2015 AT 1153 EDT FROM ARTHUR TUCKER TO DONG PARK * * *
The following report was received via e-mail:
"On April 13, 2015, the Agency was notified by a landfill operator that a load of waste had caused its radiation monitor to alarm. The operator provided a spectrum and the radioisotope was identified as cesium-137. An on-site investigation confirmed the material to be dirt/mud contaminated with cesium. Further investigation was initiated to find the source of the material. Using the waste collection vehicle's route sheets and the Agency's radiation detection equipment, the Agency identified the area where the mud had originated in a drainage ditch along the side of a street, which was within the city's easement. The waste material was isolated and a cost estimate was obtained for a contractor to remediate the area. The initial surface readings obtained in the ditch ranged from 430 microR/hr to 16 mR/hr. During remediation, the readings ranged up to 1Rem/hr and the depth of the material to be removed was within a few inches beneath the soil to a max depth of 14 feet in the most concentrated area. Site remediation was completed by the end of July 2015. The property was released for unrestricted use on September 1, 2015 after final soil samples were analyzed. The highest concentration of contamination, point of origin, was identified at a depth of approximately 14 feet below the ground surface. Ownership of the source of the radioactive material could not be determined. No violations were cited. File closed."

The following information was received by the State of Ohio via facsimile:
"A patient had a prostate volume study done on 7/24/15 at Mount Carmel St. Ann's (MCSA). The mass that was observed on the ultrasound is in the location of a typical prostate and takes the shape of a typical prostate. Implant (I-125) procedure was performed on 8/21/15. During the implant, ultrasound guidance was used when placing the seeds and the images that were seen matched what was taken at the time of the volume study on 7/24/15.
"A CT [Computerized Axial Tomography] scan was taken on 9/23/15 for post implant study to verify the seed placement and target coverage. The post implant study was performed on 10/1/15 and revealed that the prostate that is visible by CT is not adequately covered by the seeds, and that the seeds may be in the rectum. The images were reviewed further and there is a mass located between the rectum and the prostate. This is what is believed to have been visualized on the ultrasound, and what was treated in the OR [Operating Room].
"The licensee is still investigating to determine whether this tissue is part of the prostate, possibly rectum, or something else altogether. The patient has been scheduled for an MRI [Magnetic Resonance Imaging] to better visualize the tissues in this area. What is known at this time is that a large part of the prostate was not treated, the coverage to the intended target organ is below 80%, and this is being treated as a medical event. The licensee will submit a complete report when the analyses are finalized.
"ODH [Ohio Department of Health] intends to send an investigator to the licensee for follow-up. This NMED record will be updated as more information becomes available."

The following information was provided by the State of Illinois via email:
"The Radiation Safety Officer of Wayne County Well Surveys contacted the Agency [Illinois Emergency Management Agency] on Friday morning, October 16, 2015, to report the loss of a 3 Ci Am-241/Be source. A description of the container which holds the source was provided as well as anticipated radiation levels, markings and the route along which was followed when the container was most likely lost. The licensee had conducted visual surveys along this route with no success. The Agency dispatched teams with appropriate radiation detection instrumentation to traverse the route. The search is currently underway. Local law enforcement and emergency managers have also been advised of the matter."
The RSO last verified possession of the source on June 2, 2015 during a leak test. The search is being concentrated on several rural roads between Fairfield and Decatur, IL. The loss is believed to have happened sometime in the middle of September.

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "CATEGORY 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL
Category 3 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for some hours. It could possibly - although it is unlikely - be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of days to weeks. These sources are typically used in practices such as fixed industrial gauges involving high activity sources (for example: level gauges, dredger gauges, conveyor gauges and spinning pipe gauges) and well logging.

The following information was received from the State of Louisiana via email:
"On October 02, 2015, around 1500 CDT, Source Production & Equipment Company [SPEC] was manufacturing a 30 Curie sealed Co-60 source within Hot Cell Number 2. During the welding process of double encapsulating the sealed source the welder malfunctioned. Two radiation workers within Hot Cell Number 2, behind the room divider, attempted to grind off the ruined outer encapsulation.
"The result was two workers inhaled Co-60 material. Nasal swipes indicated 11,743 cpm on the highest wipe. It was initially calculated internal exposure of around 200 mRem.
"The event was basically contained to Hot Cell Number 2 except for some footprints outside the cell which were remediated. The Hot Cell is currently restricted because of contamination.
"The workers have had two whole body scans on 10/07/15 and 10/12/15 with a third scan planned for 10/19/15.
"Currently internal exposure from inhalation has been calculated to be 373 mRem from 2.3 microCi of Co-60. The other worker's calculated exposure was 80 mRem from 0.42 microCi of Co-60.
"SPEC has enacted a policy in regards to this event to no longer allow reworking a ruined source during manufacturing by grinding on it. They will just retire/dispose of that source and get a new source to work with."
The licensee is also collecting bioassay samples from both workers for analysis.

| This material event contains a "Less than Cat 3 " level of radioactive material. | Event Text MISSING TWO GENERAL LICENSE KR-85 AEROSOL NEUTRALIZERS
Two TSI Model 3054 Aerosol Neutralizers containing 10 mCi Kr-85 each as of 1977, delivered to the Andrew W. Breidenbach Environmental Research Center (AWBERC or US EPA Cincinnati) facility in Cincinnati, OH can not be accounted for in available US EPA Cincinnati inventory records. The devices were delivered to their facility on 4/21/1977. The device serial numbers are 290T and 291T. The licensee began their investigation after receiving a letter from the U.S. NRC on 8/5/15 which identified that these devices should be in their possession. Members of the US EPA Cincinnati staff completed an exhaustive search of all available records and located radioactive inventories dating back to 1983, but could not locate any records prior to 1983. The 1983 inventory did not list the devices in question. As part of their investigation, the licensee contacted the manufacturer who has no record that the devices were returned. In addition, the US EPA facility in Research Triangle Park was contacted and requested to review their records. That location has no record of ever possessing these devices.
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.
