The inspector visually examined the welds of your PuBe source.
No apparent defects were identified; however, the inspector also discussed the advantages 4
of conducting additional nondestructive tests by qualified personnel and appropriate radiation safety precautions during such tests. A wipe sample was taken from each end cap weld area and was analyzed in ou' Regional

This analysis identified no significant removable l
radioactive contamination, which is in agreement with your leak test results.

procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, measurements 1
made by the inspector, and observations by the inspector.
I Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed.
