Title	Surface Contamination Levels of Package Exceeded Limit
Event Description	The following information was provided by the licensee via telephone: On September 6, 2023, Adventist Health Castle received an expected package of TC-99M from Cardinal Health. During a wipe test that was conducted at 0737 HST, it was determined that the package had removable surface contamination levels of 17836 disintegrations per minute (dpm) per 300 centimeters squared (cm^2). The radiation safety officer (RSO)'s determination was that this exceeded a limit that he stated was 2400 dpm per 100 cm^2. The RSO notified the Headquarters Operations Officer and the carrier for follow-up. The package was stored in a secure location for the contamination level to decay. Adventist Health Castle plans to return the package to the originator following its decay to a suitable level.
