Title	Surface Contamination Inside High Dose Rate Afterloader
Event Description	On 12/7/16 at approximately 1030 MST, surface contamination was discovered on the interior of a High Dose Rate (HDR) afterloader. The contamination is limited to the inside of the housing and the interior portions of the transfer cables. The contamination was discovered by the manufacturer when the manufacturer was replacing the Ir-192 seeds used by the afterloader. Direct radiation readings could not be taken due to the proximity to the sources. Wipes were observed at 200 to 4000 counts per minute. There was no observed damage to the sources. There was no contamination of personnel. The room has been secured. The resolution planned is for the manufacturer to replace the afterloader.
