The source was wiped several times and counted in a Capintec CRC-55t well counter (serial number 561108) to ensure reproducibility of counts in the 662 keV window. Repeat wipe samples yielded the same counts and conclusively confirmed that the source was leaking. A picture was taken to document the visible damage of the vial. Area surveys and wipe tests performed in the location where the source was stored indicated no signs of contamination. The source has been taken out of service. As such, the leaking source has been fully contained and is currently secure in a hot lab. The licensee is currently in the process of obtaining quotes from several hazardous waste disposal companies in their region.</br>Georgia Radioactive Materials Program incident number: 64.ive Materials Program incident number: 64. +
