| Title | Leaking Sealed Source |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Georgia Radioactive Materials Program via email:
Radionuclide: Cs-137 Vial; Serial Number: 1360-12-8; Current Activity: 0.035 mCi During a routine sealed source inventory check on March 17, 2023, a physicist identified a damaged spot on the referenced Cs-137 vial. The source was wiped and then immediately placed back into its shielded container. The outer area of the container was sealed with tape, and all potentially contaminated items (e.g., gloves, tape, wipes, etc.) were triple bagged, sealed, labeled, and placed in a storage cabinet in the hot lab. Area surveys and wipe tests performed in the location where the source was located showed no signs of contamination. As such, the leaking source has been fully contained and is currently secure in the hot lab. The leak test samples were acquired and analyzed on March 17, 2023. We [the licensee] are currently in the process of obtaining quotes from various hazardous waste disposal companies in our region. Once the source has been properly disposed of, we [the licensee] will notify your department [Georgia Radioactive Materials Program] and provide relevant documentation.
