| Event Description | The following report was received from the State of Florida:
[The Florida Department of Health / Bureau of Radiation Control] received an email from Florida International University [FIU] reporting a leaking source. On April 19, the RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] opened a cabinet inside CP- 194 and did leak tests on stored sealed sources inside that cabinet. One Ni-63 source (9.4 milliCurie) was contained in a plastic vial with a screw top lid. The RSO removed the plastic vial from the radiation container for one minute to do a swab test, and sent the swab to an approved vendor for analysis. FIU EHS [Environmental Health and Safety] and the RSO were informed that the leak test associated with the Ni-63 source came back with a reading of 0.0119 microCuries (above the max. 0.005 microCurie limit) on May 18th. The RSO removed the radiation container containing the rad source from CP- 194 on May 22nd and moved it to the EHS vault in ACH 4 to await proper disposal. No other contamination was found.
