| Title | Agreement State Report - Leak Test Results for Ni-63 Source > .005 Microcuries |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts via fax:
[The licensee] called the Agency [Massachusetts Radiation Control] to report that [the licensee] received leak test results that were above 0.005 microCurie for their 'Shimadzu' [Manufacturer] Ni-63 gas chromatograph instruments, each containing approximately 10 milliCurie foil sources. [The licensee] reported that the leak test results were 0.0053 and 0.0069 microCurie. [The licensee] stated that wipe surveys for Ni-63 were taken of the lab areas where these instruments were used. [The licensee] did not yet have the LSC [liquid scintillation counter] results of the wipe surveys. [The licensee] also disassembled the electron capture detectors (ECD) from the GC [Gas Chromatograph] instruments and placed them inside a scaled poly bag to store the ECD's until [the licensee] can return the ECD's to 'Shimadzu'. |
