| Title | Agreement State Report - Leaking Ni-63 Sealed Source |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by the State of Washington via email:
Radiation Safety staff at WSU [Washington State University] discovered a GC ECD [Gas Chromatography - Electron Capture Detector] to be leaking during the semi annual sealed source leak test. The sealed source leak test revealed 0.00686 microCuries of removable contamination. The source was removed from the laboratory where it was stored in a box and immediately transferred to radioactive waste, pending disposal. The ECD had been stored in a box and had not been used for several years. Both the source location and the GC were surveyed to ensure contamination was not present. Survey results were well below regulatory limits. The source manufacturer/model number: Hewlett Packard model 5890A, serial number M2044. The sealed source contains 0.015 Ci of Ni-63.
