Six sources of Am-241 were involved in a fire. Three of the sources were not damaged. The other three are believed to be encased in melted/solidified masses of metal that had encased the sources. Each source was approximately 24 nanocuries. Initial surveys did not identify radiological contamination. Further analysis of the solidified metal believed to contain the three sources is planned. | Six sources of Am-241 were involved in a fire. Three of the sources were not damaged.
