On May 6, 2013, two IR192 industrial radiography sources, contained in a source changer, left Wilmington, MA, heading for the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Norfolk, VA. Though the source changer was expected on May 8, 2013, it failed to arrive. The shipyard contacted QSA Global, who then notified the transport company. The transport company searched their Newark, NJ and Boston, MA facilities for the source changer. The last known shipping scan for the source changer was in Newark. On May 9, 2013, notification was sent that the source changer was found in the New Jersey facility and the new shipment to Norfolk was expected on May 10, 2013.
