The following information was communicated … The following information was communicated to the NRC via a telephone notification on December 14, 2009:</br>On Wednesday, December 9, 2009, Bionomics personnel were at McLeod Regional Medical Center in Florence, SC to package several old sources for disposal. These packages remained at McLeod until the following day when Bionomics personnel picked them up for transport to the Bionomics facility in Oak Ridge, TN.</br>On Friday, December 11, 2009, a Bionomics worker reported that he had radioactive contamination on his clothing. On Sunday, December 13, 2009 it was ascertained that this radioactive contamination had come from the sources picked up at McLeod. A brachytherapy source containing 38 mCi of Cs-137 was found to be leaking. Bionomics contacted an HP consultant from the University of SC to have him perform radiation surveys at the McLeod facility. Radiation surveys found contamination in treatment areas, supply rooms, offices, and hallways. Highest contact readings were localized and were approximately 100 mR/hr. At this time it is believed that no radioactive contamination had been tracked outside of the McLeod facility.</br>The McLeod Radiation Safety Officer has surveyed all staff personnel - except for two individuals - that had been in the contaminated areas. No radioactive contamination was found on any of these individuals. The other two individuals will be surveyed today, Monday, December 14, 2009.</br>Bionomics personnel are presently on-site at the McLeod Medical Center performing decontamination. The Medical Center has closed the area to personnel and patients until decontamination is completed.tients until decontamination is completed. +
