The event took place on February 3, 2003 but was not determined until it was discussed on February 13, 2003. </br>The procedure being performed at the time of the event was a permanent prostate seed implant brachytherapy. The nuclide involved is I-125. A fraction of the seeds intended to be implanted into the prostate were recovered from the bladder. The medical authorized user (the physician prescribing and performing the procedure) rewrote the written directive in the operating room to reflect the number of seeds that were successfully implanted into the prostate. Calculations are presently being made to determine the exposure to the bladder. Preliminary calculations indicate that there are no deterministic effects to the patient as a result of the event. All the seeds are presently accounted for. There was no patient intervention. The NHPP is currently investigating the event.</br>* * * RETRACTION AT 14:05 EST ON 2/3/2006 FROM GARY WILLIAMS TO ABRAMOVITZ * * *</br>Based on our discussions with NRC Region III, the circumstances for event do not meet the definition in 10CFR35.3045 as a medical event.</br>Contacted the R1DO (Meyer), R3DO (Riemer), and NMSS EO (Morell).yer), R3DO (Riemer), and NMSS EO (Morell). +
