Synopsis
Air Carrier flight crew reported a discrepancy on aircraft Flight Release during pushback. Pushback was cancelled and Dispatch provided Dangerous Goods information along with a new final aircraft document.
Narrative
We had just released the brakes after push back crew was ready and we received clearance from ground for push back when the ground person told us 'the radioactive' material had been boarded. I had already seen that at XA:45Z we had received the information over ACARS that 'No Dangerous Goods Planned' message; and nobody had informed us of any changes to that or received any messages to show a change. I then told the person on the headset that we had no information of any Dangerous Goods. I then told my FO to cancel the push. We then called operations telling them we had not received any information on any dangerous goods and did not have any paperwork regarding any dangerous goods. At XC:08Z we received the Final Dangerous Goods Summary. We then sent messages via ACARS to dispatch and then called dispatch explaining to them what happened and to ask load planning that there was not anything on our final weight manifest indicating any dangerous goods had been boarded. Since the final weights had come at XB:51Z and the Final Dangerous Goods Summary had come at XC:08Z we figured the final weights did not include the dangerous goods (and as I said before the final weights did not indicate any dangerous goods).At XC:23Z we received the final weights but they still did not indicate dangerous goods. We sent another message to dispatch to confirm with load planning that the weights included the dangerous goods. We then received a message from dispatch that they had confirmed with load planning that the dangerous goods were included in the new final weights. This obviously should not have happened. I think [location] needs to be reminded of the importance of our procedures regarding dangerous goods.
Second reporter narrative
We arrived at the airplane and were notified that there was no Hazardous Material planned. We completed checklist got clearance and was then notified by the ramp personal that radioactive material was loaded. We then made sure to get final;dangerous goods paperwork and correct the issue.
