Licensee received, in the mail, a box containing 94 palladium seeds with a total activity of 119.14 millicuries on Friday, 09/0701 at approximately 1200 ET. The box containing the seeds was locked in the Hot Lab at approximately 1700 hours on 09/07/01. Saturday morning it was noticed that the box containing the palladium seeds was missing. It was assumed that the box of seeds had been picked up. Today, 09/11/01, at 0700 hours a Radiation Physicist came to pick up the box of palladium seeds. At this time it was realized that the seeds were missing. A search of the hospital areas, trash, etc., was performed and the seeds were not found. The hospital security and the Jeffersonville Police department were notified of the missing palladium seeds.
