AGREEMENT STATE REPORT - LEAKING SEALED SOURCE
The following information was provided by the Georgia Radioactive Materials Program (the Department) via email:
"On January 14, 2026, the licensee's radiation safety officer (RSO) notified the Department of a leaking check source found during a routine check on January 12, 2026. The vial had a visible defect, so the physicist immediately collected a wipe sample and placed the vial back in its shielded container. The container was sealed with tape, and all potentially contaminated items were triple bagged, sealed, labeled, and placed in storage in the hot lab. Area surveys and wipes were performed in the location where the source was located and no contamination was found. The RSO is currently in the process of obtaining quotes from disposal companies and will inform the Department when it is disposed.
"The Department will update with more information when obtained."
GA incident number: 113

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION VIOLATION
The following information was provided by the licensee via phone:
On January 21, 2026, a technical specification (TS) violation was discovered per TS 3.4.d due to improper shielding during operation. The TS requires that the thermal column be filled with water or graphite, however, the thermal column contained water and lead. Since lead is not identified in the TS as a permissible shield, this was identified as a violation. The site will file a license amendment to add lead to the TS as an approved shielding material for the thermal column.
The licensee notified the NRC Project Manager and Inspector.
