The following was received from the State … The following was received from the State of New Jersey via email:</br>A reciprocity licensee informed (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection Radioactive Materials Program) that during a routine preventive maintenance and source exchange of a (high dose rate) HDR unit at a hospital, the sealed Ir-192 source was found to be leaking. Upon discovery of the leakage, the source exchange was halted. The sealed source is a model 105.002 Ir-192 source manufactured by Alpha Omega Services, Inc. for use in an Elekta HDR microSelectron model 106.990, serial number 10362. </br>The wipe test revealed the presence of 190 Bq on the check cable and 183 Bq on the source cable. Checks of the transfer tubes were within regulatory limits. Checks on the applicators used and the indexer cap are being conducted. The source is secured in its shielded position within the HDR unit. Exposure levels are normal for a shielded source. The unit itself is secured in its routine storage location. There are no HDR patient treatments scheduled for the next two weeks. This should be sufficient time for the levels of contamination to decay to below regulatory limits. At that time, the source exchange will proceed.</br>A phone call and follow-up e-mail was made to the State of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Environmental Radiation.ction's Bureau of Environmental Radiation. +
