Title	Agreement State Report: Lost Iodine-125 Seeds
Event Description	The following was received from the State of Illinois via email: The radiation safety officer, (RSO) at GE Health, called to advise that two identical packages of I-125 seeds which had been given to [common carrier] to deliver to Athens, Greece had not reached their destination by the desired date. The packages are the typical 'shoebox' size of 11x7x10 inches of 'excepted package - limited quantity'. Both contain 15 seeds with 6.5 milliCi (actual) in each box for a total of 13 milliCi calibrated for Friday 7/29/16 at noon. The RSO has been in touch with [common carrier] since the July 26, 2016 when GE's customer service became concerned while routinely performing package tracking. [Common carrier] last had positive tracking for these packages in Newark, NJ on the 23rd. [Common carrier] is still conducting visual surveys in Newark and Athens in an attempt to locate the boxes and has no evidence to indicate the materials have been delivered to an outside entity. Surveys conducted at O'Hare Airport in Chicago were negative. [Common carrier] reports that it is still conducting searches and has put a 'world wide tracer' into effect to locate the material as it still believes it is within their delivery system. Illinois Report Number: IL16005 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.
