EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - MEDICAL EVENT
The following information was provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) via email:
"Florida BRC received notification of a medical event which occurred at UF Health Jacksonville. A patient received an I-125 seed for breast localization surgery. The seed was implanted on Wednesday October 15, 2025, and was intended to be removed on October 16, 2025.
"On October 16, 2025, the patient required an emergency surgery, which included receiving a stent, resulting in the patient's inability to receive additional surgeries for approximately 3 months. The patient and physician are aware of the situation, and the facility is working towards determining non-surgical options.
"The NRC has received notification due to the expectation that the received dose will be greater than 20 percent of the intended dose. The facility has been requested to provide the patient's expected dose and received dose. The incident, and the NRC, will be updated when this information is received."
Seed information:
Manufacturer: IsoAid
Model: IAI-125A
Isotope: I-125
Activity: 0.298 mCi
* * * UPDATE ON 10/27/2025 AT 0733 EDT FROM MONROE COOPER TO IAN HOWARD * * *
The following information was provided by the Florida Bureau of Radiation Control (BRC) via email:
"The intended maximum dose was 2792 cGy. The expected maximum dose is 156793 cGy."
Notified R1DO (Young), NMSS (Kock), NMSS Events Notifications (email).
Florida Incident Number: FL25-102
A Medical Event may indicate potential problems in a medical facility's use of radioactive materials. It does not necessarily result in harm to the patient.

EN Revision Text: AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - STOLEN GAUGE
The following information was provided by the Nevada Radiation Control Program via phone and email:
"The radiation safety officer for Universal Engineering Services, [license number] 00-11-14033-01, reported to the Nevada Radiation Control Program that a portable gauge had been stolen from the back of a pick-up truck (all chains were cut) at a hotel where an employee was staying in Reno, this morning at 0815 PDT. The gauge in question is a Troxler, model 3430, serial number 37385, with americium-241/beryllium neutron sealed source with an activity of 40 mCi, and a cesium-137 sealed source with an activity of 8 mCi. The licensee is filing a report to the Reno Police Department for the stolen gauge and has been reaching out to local pawn shops.
"Notification is made under 10 CFR 20.2201(a)(1)(i)."
* * * UPDATE ON 10/28/25 AT 1643 EDT FROM COREY CREVELING TO KERBY SCALES * * *
The following update was provided by the Nevada Radiation Control Program via email:
The gauge has been found and returned to the licensee.
Notified R4DO (Vossmar), NMSS_Events_Notification, and ILTAB via email.
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.
