material be tested for leakage and/or contamination at least once per six months.
For stored sources not in use, the Technieri Specification requires that each sealed source be tested prior to use.
Contrary to the aLove, the licensee failed to test for leak 6pe a Victoreen High Range Field calibrator containing a 250 millicurie Cs-137 source during the pericd between June 11,19E7 and February 6,1991, when the calibrator was used on at least seven occasions.
