AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LOSS OF CONTROL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

The following is a summary of information provided by the Georgia Radioactive Material Program via phone and email:

On October 13, 2025, Applied Technical Services, LLC (ATS) shipped a radiography camera containing a sealed source to QSA Global via common carrier overnight delivery. The shipment originated from Augusta, Georgia and was destined for Burlington, Massachusetts.

On October 21, 2025, ATS was notified by QSA Global that they had yet to receive the device. ATS followed up with the common carrier to attempt to locate the device and get further status. Using the package tracking number, it was determined that the package arrived at the common carrier's sorting facility in Memphis, Tennessee on October 13, 2025. After further investigation, the package was located at the common carrier facility and will be shipped to QSA Global.

Camera information:
Manufacturer: QSA Global
Model: 880 Delta
Serial Number: D11255

Source Information:
Model: A424-9
Isotope: Ir-192
Activity: 102.8 Ci (as of 10/21/2025)

GA Incident Number: 110

THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A 'Category 2' LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL

Category 2 sources, if not safely managed or securely protected, could cause permanent injury to a person who handled them, or were otherwise in contact with them, for a short time (minutes to hours). It could possibly be fatal to be close to this amount of unshielded radioactive material for a period of hours to days. These sources are typically used in practices such as industrial gamma radiography, high dose rate brachytherapy and medium dose rate brachytherapy.
