The following report was received from the … The following report was received from the State of California via email:</br>Moravek received a package of tritium from Merck and Company (Rahway, New Jersey) on 1/29/16 by (common carrier) delivery (non-exclusive use). Upon performing the receipt radiological survey, Moravek personnel reported finding removable contamination of tritium on the external package surfaces up to 44.75 dpm/square cm. The applicable regulatory limit is 22 dpm/square cm based on wiping a 300 square cm area. Moravek personnel reported they estimate they wiped 100 square cm areas. The results of 5 wipes (approximately 500 square cm) performed by Moravek personnel of the package surfaces yielded an average of 26.4 dpm/square cm.</br>The contamination regulatory limit is identical for all beta and gamma emitting radionuclides. However, the safety significance of the contamination is nuclide specific, and ranges up to a factor in excess of 10,000 for common beta/gamma emitting radionuclides. Tritium is on the very low end of the safety significance spectrum, with for example, the safety significance of tritium contamination being approximately a factor of 4000 less than the safety significance of a similar contamination level of Cs-137. The dose consequences of the highest wipe concentration of 44.75 dpm/square cm of tritium found on the package is therefore very minor. </br>The (common carrier) RSO was notified of the contamination wipe results. The New Jersey radiation control program will also be notified.</br>California 5010 Number: 012916e notified.
