LOST SOURCE
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone:
On August 28, 2026, the licensee discovered the 100 mCi Am-241 source for a Filltech model FT-50 level gauge (S/N 115319) could not be located during a physical inventory. The empty housing was subsequently located inside the facility, but the source was missing. No transfer records associated with the source were located. The licensee continues to search for the source.
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.

AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOST SOURCE
The following information was provided by the New York State Department of Health, Bureau of Environmental Radiation Protection (the Department), via email:
"On the morning of September 2, 2026, the Department received notification from the parent company of subsidiary O-AT-KA Milk Products for a fixed gauge missing from their most recent annual inventory. A third-party company was hired to auction off equipment from the building and they believe the gauge was auctioned off. They have attempted contacting the auctioning company but have not been able to determine where the gauge ended up at this time. The Department is independently seeking to determine this device's whereabouts and will provide updates once they are available."
Gauge Information:
Industrial Dynamics model FT-50-C, S/N 117327
Industrial Dynamics model 06110 source (S/N 2366), 100 mCi Am-241, purchased: 2008
NY Incident Number: 1568
NY Event Report ID Number: NY-26-04
