EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - DEVICE NOT LOCATED DURING INSPECTION
The following was received from the Alabama Office of Radiation Control (the Agency) via email:
"An Agency inspector performed an inspection of Wallace State Community College, registrant 554 GL [Generic License], in Hanceville, AL on 4/27/2021. The registrant's GL device was not located during the inspection. The registrant stated the device was moved/disposed in 2019. The registrant was unable to provide documentation of disposal. The inspector followed up with Perkin Elmer (manufacturer); the Perkin Elmer representative stated that no documentation of receipt/disposal of this device was/is present. No further information is available at this time.
"Device description: Perkin Elmer model N610-0063 s/n 3345, source model N610-0063, s/n 3345, with 15 milliCuries of nickel-63 as of 9/1/2000."
Alabama Incident 21-16
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.
