On January 6, 2004, Louisiana Radiation Protection Services notified the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that a licensee’s radioactive device could not be located. The device is a Kay-Ray Model 7063P gauge, with serial number 12349, currently containing a 11.71 Gbq (316.4 milliCurie) source of Cs-137. Since 1984, the device has been stored in a secured wooden crate with proper labeling, inside a locked warehouse with limited access at the licensee’s facility. The device was last accounted for during an inventory conducted on September 4, 2003. During the period from September 4, 2003 to October 30, 2003, the warehouse was renovated to prepare the space for other uses. After determining that the device was missing, the licensee conducted a search and performed interviews at the facility, although, as of December 2, 2003 the device has not been found. The licensee has notified all of its scrap metal contractors to be on alert for the device. The State and the licensee are continuing to investigate this event.
