| Title | Lost Shipment |
| Event Description | The following was received from the Illinois Emergency Materials Agency (the Agency) via email:
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. 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. [The common carrier] reportedly conducted a search yesterday and did not find the package and notified Bard Brachytherapy this morning that it was lost. Illinois Item Number: IL220038
The following information was provided by the Illinois Emergency Management Agency via email: Licensee advised the common carrier located the package and confirmed delivery. This matter is considered closed. Notified R3DO (Betancourt-Roldan) and R1DO (Ferdas). Notified via email: NMSS Event Notification and ILTAB 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.
