| Title | Agreement State Report Involving a Failed Leak Test of an Ecd Source |
| Event Description | The following information was received from the State of Colorado via fax:
On February 16, 2012 Test America at 4955 Yarrow Street in Arvada, Colorado (CO License # 486-03), notified the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment that one of their Ni-63 electron capture detectors [ECD] failed a leak test. The leak test results for Device HPU0946 exceeded the 0.005 microCurie level. The test wipe measured at 0.0062 microCurie. The ECD detector was immediately withdrawn from service and the instrument in which the ECD was located was decontaminated by cleaning with Radiac Wash solution. A direct beta survey was then performed which showed no residual contamination present on the instrument or ECD. ECD No. HPU0946 was sent to the manufacturer for repair. |
