| Title | Agreement State Report - Leaking Generally Licensed Sources |
| Event Description | The following was received from the state of Colorado via email:
On or after February 05, 2014, while working on a license renewal action, the Colorado Radiation Program was informed by the licensee that it had three (3) generally licensed electron capture detectors (ECDs), containing ~15-18 mCi of Ni-63 (each), that [leak tests] indicated contamination in excess of regulatory limits. The devices were determined to be manufactured by Hewlett-Packard and Agilent Technologies (model number verification is pending). The licensee reported that upon discovery, the devices were contained to minimize potential contamination spread. The area where gauges were used/handled was surveyed and determined to be free of contamination. The licensee indicated that the manufacturer was notified and the devices have been returned to the manufacturer for disposal. Further investigation by the Colorado Radiation Program is pending. |
