(The licensee) reported that the leak test results were 0.0053 and 0.0069 microCurie. (The licensee) stated that wipe surveys for Ni-63 were taken of the lab areas where these instruments were used. (The licensee) did not yet have the LSC (liquid scintillation counter) results of the wipe surveys. (The licensee) also disassembled the electron capture detectors (ECD) from the GC (Gas Chromatograph) instruments and placed them inside a scaled poly bag to store the ECD's until (the licensee) can return the ECD's to 'Shimadzu'.
