The following was received from the Illino … The following was received from the Illinois Emergency Materials Agency (the Agency) via email:</br>The Agency received a phone call from the Radiation Safety Officer at Bard Brachytherapy (IL-02062-01) on 10/5/22 indicating the loss of a package containing (10) ten I-125 brachytherapy seeds, accounting for a maximum estimated activity of 7.29 mCi (0.729 mCi per source). The package appears to have been lost at the (common carrier) warehouse in Vermont. The amount and form of radioactivity would not be useful for illicit intent and there is no indication of intentional theft or diversion. </br>DETAILS: On 9/30/2022, Bard Brachytherapy shipped two boxes to the University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, VT. One of the boxes, which contained (10) ten I-125 brachytherapy seeds did not arrive with the shipment. (The common carrier) initially reported that it was still in the VT warehouse.
