Title	Leaking Sealed Source Found: 5 Curie Americium-241/Beryllium
Event Description	A 5 curie AM-241/Be sealed source was found leaking during a routine leak test on September 26, 2003. The removable contamination was 0.081 microcuries. The source is a Gulf Nuclear model 71-1 serial # 71-1448B. The source was transported during September 2003 from the Licensee's Edinburg, TX site to the Ft. Worth site. The contamination was confined to the inside of the transport container and the source housing. A second source that had been stored as a companion in the same down hole storage in Edinburg also had a small amount of contamination on it (399 dpm found, below the 11,000 dpm limit). Therefore, the Edinburg downhole site will be checked by the Licensee for contamination. The storage facility in Edinburg has been taken out of service and off limits until proper surveys are made. An update will be provided when more information is available Transport vehicle description: Computalog company vehicle Texas Incident No: I-8059.
