Title	Agreement State Report - Misplaced Iodine 125 Source Found in Shipping Case
Event Description	The following was received from the State of Florida via email: A well chamber (HDR1000+, s/n A980392) was shipped to University of Wisconsin-Madison from Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center Tallahassee FL. It arrived inside a case which also contained three source holders and an electrometer. An I-125 source was found on the bottom of the case on the foam inserts. Due to low exposure rate of the source (about two times background on contact) it was not detected by the monitoring system, but discovered visually. The UWADCL [University of Wisconsin Accredited Dosimetry Calibration Laboratory] received equipment on 6/26/2014. Calibration was completed on 7/2/2014. The shipper has been informed by phone and email. Florida Incident #: FL14-062 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.
