| AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MISSING I-125 SEEDS |
| |
| The following is from a facsimile report: |
| |
| "At approximately 4:45 PM Friday July 26, 2002, I [Colorado Department of |
| Health and Environment] received a call from ..., RSO and Medical Physicist |
| at St. Mary's Hospital in Grand Junction, Colorado. |
| |
| "[RSO] informed us he is missing 3, I-125 prostrate seeds (approx. 0.36 mCi |
| [millicuries] each). He was made aware of the loss late this morning. |
| Surveys were conducted in all suspect areas of the hospital to no avail. It |
| is possible that either the seeds never arrived due to poor inventory |
| control of the supplier, or that the seeds went to the trash, which left the |
| hospital around 7:00 A.M. Since the seeds are shielded, they would probably |
| not be detected at the landfill." |
