Results from the swipe test of the inlet to the detector were calculated on June 29, 2023, and showed 2.3E-2 microcuries of removable Ni-63 contamination. The gas chromatograph was immediately placed out-of-service and the gas flow was terminated.</br>The ECD detector contained 13.2 millicuries Ni-63 total activity.</br>A Thermo Scientific RadEye B20-ER survey meter (calibrated November 15, 2022) was used to assess the level of risk, and there was no measurable radiation above background, including with the column oven door open.</br>The VDH received notification of the incident June 29, 2023. </br>The area around the ECD detector was re-surveyed for removable contamination on June 29, 2023, including the inlet, which showed 5.1E-5 microcuries (50 picocuries) of contamination. Results of the second swipe surveys were calculated on June 30, 2023, and all other swipes were 5 picocuries or less. The area was decontaminated, and the source was removed, capped, bagged, boxed, and stored securely on June 30, 2023.</br>Agilent's repair facility requested the source be returned for an assessment to Agilent's repair facility.</br>VDH incident number: 23-002</br>The following additional information was obtained from the licensee in accordance with Headquarters Operations Officers Report Guidance:</br>The event was entered into NMED in 2023 but was not reported to the Headquarters Operations Center until now.
