EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST STATIC METER
The following information was received from the State of Oklahoma via email:
"Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. has reported the loss of a 3M Model 703 Static Meter (S/N 411617). This device was possessed under Oklahoma GLD [generally licensed device] registration GLD0013. It was manufactured in 1977 and initially contained 250 mCi of tritium, which would have decayed to approximately 20 mCi today. Goodyear obtained the device in 2002 and used it for 2 or 3 years before placing it into storage. It was discovered missing earlier this month."
***UPDATE AT 1057 ON 1/11/2023 AT 1057 FROM OKLAHOMA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY TO BILL GOTT ***
The following is a summary of the information received from the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) via email:
The Oklahoma DEQ contacted the licensee Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) to verify the corrective actions established to ensure there is not a repeat event.
The RSO described that they perform inventories on other devices and that the majority of their devices are attached to large machinery and are used in their everyday production process. The licensee also has onsite support provided by OnCare Digital Assets who help manage their equipment.
Notified Cale Young (R4DO), and NMSS Events Notification and ILTAB via email.
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.

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - Rb-82 GENERATOR FAILURE
The following information was provided by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (the "Division") by email:
"The Division was notified at about 1515 MST, March 1, 2022, that a Bracco Rb-82 generator was not functioning as designed. The [Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)] was notified at 1353 MST by nuclear medicine personnel that a new Rb-82 Generator was received on Sunday, February 27, 2022. When the licensee pulled the first eluate and did the required QA [quality assurance review], the generator failed the tests. The nuclear medicine personnel tried to perform the QA again and the generator failed a second attempt. The manufacturer was contacted and the licensee's personnel worked all day on Monday, February 28, 2022 to try and determine what the issue was. No patients were treated using the generator. It was finally determined that the undercarriage of the generator was leaking, although all of the leakage was contained within the generator case."
