AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST OR STOLEN SOURCES
The following was received state of Tennessee via email:
"AMETEK conducted an inventory of their sources and found 4 sealed sources that were unaccounted for and possibly lost or stolen. The total amount of all four of the sources was 8.76 microCi. They are as follows:
"Mixed gamma, 133 kBq, serial number 1249
Am-241, 2,200 Bq, serial number SS6712
Am-241, 3.873 kBq, serial number 1868
Sr-90, 5 microCuries"
State Event Report ID NO.: TN-18-151
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.
