Title	Tritium in Excess of License Limit
Event Description	The following information was received from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control [The Department] via e-mail: On April 13, 2022, at approximately 1400 EDT, the Department was notified by the licensee that it possibly received two samples that contained Tritium (H-3) that if logged in would have exceeded the license possession limit. The licensee receives samples from various customers for analysis to determine the amount of radioactivity that may be present in the sample. The two samples (drums) contained 50 pounds of concrete cores. These samples were believed to contain 1.57 E4 milliCuries of Tritium. Due to the potential elevated level of Tritium in the samples, the drums were never unpacked, were re-sealed, and returned to the client. The client submitted information indicated that each sample (drum) contained approximately 346 microCuries/gram of Tritium. The licensee calculated that the activity of each sample contained 7.85 Curies of Tritium and totaled 15.7 Curies for both samples. The licensee has submitted the required 30-day written report on May 12, 2022.
