After multiple attempts, the leak test kept returning the same results, which were 0.012 milliCi and the limit is 0.005 milliCi. The source is part of a Hewlett-Packard gas chromatograph, model number 0201972-00. The source is a Varian Ni-63 15 milliCi source with a current activity of 14.1 milliCi. The source serial number is A-15296. The source has been wrapped and stored in a sealed bag and placed in the facilities waste building.
