Subject: LOST SOURCE                                                     

Discussion:

North Carolina, an Agreement State, notified the NRC Duty Officer on     
April 1, 1996, that a 7.6 millicurie iodine-125 sealed source was        
reported lost at the Duke University Medical Center.  The lost source had
been reported to the State earlier on April 1.  The source had been used 
as a motion point source and taped to a patient.  The source is believed 
to have been removed with the tape on April 29, and discarded with the   
tape.  The discarded tape normally goes into a dempsey dumpster and then 
is sent to a local landfill.  The licensee has conducted surveys of the  
dumpsters and other areas of the licensee's facility and has been unable 
to locate the source.  The State continues to monitor the licensee's     
actions.                                                                 

Regional Action:

Region II will continue to monitor the State's action.
