Title	Surface Contamination Exceeding Limits on Package
Event Description	At 1400 CDT on 07/03/07, the University of Missouri, Columbia campus received a scheduled delivery of a radioactive material shipment containing 11 millicuries of I-131. During the receipt inspection, radioactive contamination was discovered on one spot on the top corner of the ammo can lid used for transport. Using two different measuring techniques, the contamination was between 470-700 dpm/sq cm. A second swipe survey of the same spot had no contamination. A radiation survey conducted of the container showed a 30 mRem/hr hot spot in the same area where the contamination was removed. The ammo can has been bagged and will be stored in the secure hot lab in the veterinary facility until the carrier can return to pickup the transport can on 07/05/07 or 07/06/07. The Mid America Isotopes company located in Ashland, MO delivered the package to the facility. The carrier was notified at 1600 CDT of the contamination. This shipment was one of several that were prepared and delivered today, but it is not known if there was any contamination of the other packages or the vehicle. * * UPDATE AT 12:30 ON 7/5/2007 FROM MARY ALDRICH TO MARK ABRAMOVITZ * * * The inner container was intact, not leaking, and was used as intended. Notified the R3DO (Lanksbury) and FSME (Moore).
