16:11 Feb 25, 2005
Title	Delivery of Radioactive Phosphorus (P-32) to Unauthorized Individual by Fed-Ex
Event Description	The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) for the Fox Chase Cancer Center reported that a shipment of P-32 (3.2 millicuries based on a 2/24/05 calculated decay) was received by her that had been opened by an unknown and unauthorized individual. She stated that she had been expecting the shipment of P-32 from M.P Biomedical of Irvine CA to arrive at the Fox Chase facility on Friday 2/25/05. The RSO stated that when she received the package on 2/28/05, there was clear evidence that the package had been opened and resealed. She stated that the P-32 contents were undamaged and nothing was missing. In addition, a survey of the package showed no contamination. The RSO tracked the history of the package through Fed-Ex and determined that the package had been delivered to someone else (Contact the Headquarters Operations Officer for the name of the person) on 2/25/05 at 11:11a.m. The delivery location was listed as the address previously used by Fox Chase (although a different address it is still at the same building location). The RSO was unable to find anyone in the Fox Chase building by the name documented in the Fed-Ex tracking system. The licensee believes that this is reportable since the P-32 was unaccounted for and apparently possessed by an unauthorized individual for some period of time after 11:11a.m. on 2/25/05 such that an exposure could have resulted to persons in an unrestricted area.
