No sealed source shall be stored for a period of more than 10 years without being tested for leakage and/or contamination.
D. The leak test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) of radioactive material on the test sample. If the test reveals the presence of 185 becquerels (0.005 microcuries) or more of removable contamination, a report shall be filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission in accordance with 10 CFR 30.50(c)(2), and the source shall be removed immediately from service and decontaminated, repaired, or disposed of in accordance with Commission regulations.
