Title	Lost I-131 Medical Pharmaceutical
Event Description	10 packages of medical pharmaceuticals were shipped on 11/19/2008 from Mallinckrodt in Maryland Heights, MO to destinations in Virginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. One package did not arrive at the destination: a Mallinckrodt pharmacy in Folcroft, PA. Three couriers were used to ship the packages: transport from Mallinckrodt to the airport, ship by air, and transport to the pharmacies. All of the couriers have searched for the missing package without success. Source: I-131, 109 mCi THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
