| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - FOUR IR-192 SEEDS LOST                              |
|                                                                              |
| One ribbon consisting of four Ir-192 seeds with a total activity of 3.2 mCi  |
| was lost.  The seeds were being used to treat a patient and are believed to  |
| have been disposed of accidentally in biomedical hazardous waste.  The       |
| hospital has been surveyed to no avail.  The licensee believes the seeds are |
| being transported to a waste facility in Clinton, IL.  The facility has been |
| notified to expect the shipment and to perform the necessary surveys.  The   |
| licensee will recover the seeds if found at the waste facility.              |
|                                                                              |
| The licensee also contacted the R3 state liaison officer.                    |
