The following information was received fro … The following information was received from the Pennsylvania Bureau of Radiation Protection via facsimile:</br>The licensee called the PaDEP Southwest Regional Office (SWRO) on the morning of June 14, 2010 to provide a 24-hour verbal notice of a stuck source. The licensee secured the location, and contacted the manufacturer and their consultant for instruction on how to proceed. Equipment appears to have failed to function as designed, thus, the licensee and DEP are doing a 24 hour report per 10CFR30.50(b)(2).</br>On June 14, 2010, the SWRO of the Department received verbal notification of a stuck radioactive source. DEP was informed the threaded cap on the end of their cobalt-60 source became stuck within the mold they were checking. The licensee moved the unit to a secure location, roped-off this area, and began to conduct surveys. The manufacturer (Berthold Technologies), along with an outside consultant were contacted for support on recovering the source. We were told the activity of the source is 5.3 millicurie (mCi), but it is not clear if that is a decayed or initial activity. The source information from their license is as follows: Berthold Technologies, source model P2608-100, Co-60 sealed source capsule.</br>DEP Central Office is awaiting further details from its Western Regional Office and the licensee's facility staff and consultant to confirm radiation survey measurements and source recovery. It is anticipated that Regional staff will conduct a follow-up inspection. Final even details will be communicated in a NMED report.</br>PA Report ID: PA-100011 in a NMED report.
