Title	Molybdenum-Technetium Generator Lost During Shipment
Event Description	A Mo-Tc Generator was sent to Baptist Hospital in Miami, Florida. The generator was used for approximately 2 weeks before being shipped back on 1/18/14. It was picked up by the common carrier on 1/19/14. The Mo-Tc generator did not make it back to the Mallinckrodt facility. A search was initiated at the Mallinckrodt facility and Baptist Hospital. When the Mo-Tc generator could not be located, it was declared missing on 2/26/15. The generator is approximately 65 lbs. total and contains 8.1 mCi of depleted uranium-238. The shield was stamped with the number 2116. 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.
