| event text = On October 10, 2011, North Carolina Radiation Protection (NCRP) received a call from the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at Marion L. Shepard Cancer Center in Washington, NC, informing them that on September 26, 2011, while working with I-125 brachytherapy seeds for calibration, they had discovered the loss of one of the seeds. The lost seed was a 0.346 mCi brachytherapy seed that had been received on September 23, 2011. According to the RSO, they had made every effort to locate the seed but could not find it. At that time, it was believed that the seed must have gone behind an un-movable counter in the hot lab at the hospital nuclear medicine department. The well counter they use is kept at the cancer center and taken to the hospital's nuclear medicine department when needed to assay the seeds. | | event text = On October 10, 2011, North Carolina Radiation Protection (NCRP) received a call from the Radiation Safety Officer (RSO) at Marion L.
