Title | Agreement State Report - Leaking Sealed Source | |
Event Description | The Florida Bureau of Radiation Control reported the following via email:
The RSO [Radiation Safety Officer] notified the BRC [Bureau of Radiation Control] by mail that a leak test performed on this source [217.6 microCurie Cs-137 e-vial] resulted in greater than 0.005 microCi of the acceptable removable contamination. After determination, the source was sealed within the shielded e-vial container using silicone. The outer shielded container had no removable contamination. The sealed container was then wrapped in plastic. The outer plastic also had no removable contamination. The area was evaluated for signs of removable contamination with no results above background. The licensee intends to dispose of this source through a licensed radioactive waste disposal company. Florida Event Number: FL20-113 THIS MATERIAL EVENT CONTAINS A "LESS THAN CAT 3" LEVEL OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Sources that are "Less than IAEA Category 3 sources," are either sources that are very unlikely to cause permanent injury to individuals or contain a very small amount of radioactive material that would not cause any permanent injury. Some of these sources, such as moisture density gauges or thickness gauges that are Category 4, the amount of unshielded radioactive material, if not safely managed or securely protected, could possibly - although it is unlikely - temporarily injure someone who handled it or were otherwise in contact with it, or who were close to it for a period of many weeks.
