On November 10, 2006, [a representative] of Bard Brachytherapy, Inc. (IL-02062-01) called to report that they had been advised by their customer, that a package intended for Milton Hospital, Milton, Massachusetts did not make it to its destination. The package had been offered to their courier, Airnet, the previous evening for next morning delivery. Using the company's package tracking system, it was determined that the shipment (DELETED) had been transferred from Airnet, to the American Airlines' O'Hare Airport Air Freight Hub in Chicago, IL., but no record of its departure existed. Physical searches of the airport facility by the carriers' staff did not immediately locate the package containing the radioactive material. The shipment consisted of 2 leaded pigs of I-125 sealed sources. One pig held 73 'seeds' with an activity of 66 milliCuries, the second held 80 'seeds' with an activity of 72 mCi. The two packages had been combined into an 'over pack' with a total activity of approximately 134 milliCi of I-125. The package was identified as a 'limited quantity' package with a dose rate of less than 0.5 milliR/h at the surface of the container. The box was approximately 15x12x12 inches in size. As of 17:30 CST the package remains missing. | On November 10, 2006, [a representative] of Bard Brachytherapy, Inc.
