Title	Agreement State Report - Contaminated Package
Event Description	The following was received from the State of New Jersey via email: The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] for this radiopharmacy called to report the receipt of a contaminated package. The package arrived from another Zevacor facility located in Virginia (Virginia license # 107113-1). The package as shipped contained 21 mCi of liquid Zr-89. While performing their routine wipe test during the opening of the package, the wipe test of the inner package found removable contamination of 240,000 counts per minute. The outer package was not found to be contaminated. The RSO of the New Jersey facility contacted their counterpart at the Virginia facility. The Virginia facility maintained that the package was free of contamination when it was shipped. Zevacor believes the primary container was not sealed properly. This may have caused some of the material to evaporate during shipment and contaminate the exterior of the primary container. A written report will be supplied within 30 days.
