Title	Rb-82 Generator Failure
Event Description	The following information was provided by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Waste Management and Radiation Control (the "Division") by email: The Division was notified at about 1515 MST, March 1, 2022, that a Bracco Rb-82 generator was not functioning as designed. The [Radiation Safety Officer (RSO)] was notified at 1353 MST by nuclear medicine personnel that a new Rb-82 Generator was received on Sunday, February 27, 2022. When the licensee pulled the first eluate and did the required QA [quality assurance review], the generator failed the tests. The nuclear medicine personnel tried to perform the QA again and the generator failed a second attempt. The manufacturer was contacted and the licensee's personnel worked all day on Monday, February 28, 2022 to try and determine what the issue was. No patients were treated using the generator. It was finally determined that the undercarriage of the generator was leaking, although all of the leakage was contained within the generator case. Utah Event Report ID No.: UT220001
