2)         A description of the circumstances under which the loss or theft occurred;

3)         A statement of disposition, or probable disposition, of the source of radiation involved;

d)         The licensee or registrant shall prepare any report filed with the Agency pursuant to this Section so that names of individuals who may have received exposure to radiation are stated in a separate and detachable portion of the report.
