Caps were off all six internal shielding pigs. Vials in four pigs were intact. The fifth vial was found and returned to the pig. The sixth vial was crushed and the contents (5.3 mCi) released. The shipper's fire personnel responded and washed the area (20 to 30 feet in diameter) and released the water to the storm water runoff drain.
