| Title | Agreement State Report - Two Sr-90 Sealed Sources Failed Pre-Shipment Leak Test |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via email:
On Saturday, 4/5/14, licensee left voice mail notification for this Agency (Massachusetts Radiation Control Program) of the same day determination of two potential leaking or contaminated sealed sources that had been taken out of long-term storage and intended to be shipped for eventual disposal. Notification received by Agency on Monday, 4/7/14. Follow-up contact with licensee by Agency on 4/7/14. The source was returned to storage pending licensee contact with manufacturer. Licensee reported leak lest results are preliminary in nature and were determined by licensee to be above background. There was no evidence of contamination beyond the source itself. Five-day written report from licensee to follow. Additional Reference: NMED Item Number TRA Manufacturer: Eckert & Ziegler / IPL Model #: SIF.D1 Manufacture date: 3/2004 (0.100 Ci) Serial #: MI318 / MC915 Isotope: Sr-90 Isotope activity (Ci): 0.078 (4/2014) Leak test result (microCi): 0.002 (preliminary) / 0.0007 (preliminary)
The Licensee's written report was received by the Agency on 4/10/14. The Licensee confirmed that leak test results were unchanged from the earlier report. With this new information, the Agency determined that this is not a reportable event because results were below the reportable level of 0.005 microcuries. The Agency considers this matter to be closed. Notified the R1DO (Burritt) and FSME Events Resource via email. |
