1) On November 4, 1988, a Health Physics technician handling a Co-60 source discovered the source to be leaking. The source is a standard radionuclide source (source number 23880A-130) manufactured by Analytics, Inc. The radionuclide source material is placed on a one-inch thick plastic disk, and covered with a thin plastic (O.V mg/cm2 thick). The activity of the source on the day of the event was approximately 8.5 uCi. A survey of the outside of the source indicated leakage activity of about 0.063 uCi.

Following the discovery of the leaking source, a survey of the storage location and of the Health Physics counting room and instrument repair room was performed. Other sources stored in the same location were also checked for contamination. No contamination was found in the surveys performed. The leaking source was removed from service and contained to preclude further leakage. The source was disposed of in accordance with O-HPS-041, "Control of Radioactive Materials Inside the Radiation Controlled Area."

2) On January 31, 1989, a solid sealed 0.39 uCi Sr/Y-90 radioactive check source (source number HPOV3) was removed from the Main Steam Line Radiation Monitor (RAD-6426) by Instrumentation and Control (IRC) personnel to facilitate maintenance on the instrument. The source was placed in a Whirl-Pack bag and secured in the source storage cabinet located in the Health Physics Calibration Lab. Later that day, a leak check survey indicated sur faced contamination of about 0.3 uCi.

Following the discovery of the leaking source, a survey of the work location and INC personnel was performed. No contamination was found.

In accordance with Technical Specification 3.11 and O-HPS-092, "Leak Testing of Radioactive Sources," the leaking source was removed from service and contained to preclude further spread of contamination. The source was disposed of in accordance with O-HPS-041.
