Leakage Testing of Radioactive Sealed Sources

Radioactive sealed sources are required to be leakage tested at least every two years to demonstrate the integrity of their encapsulation (Reg 27(3)). A record of the test should be kept for at least that period, or until a subsequent test.

Radman Associates assist with statutory wipe tests and certify satisfactory results after analysis of the swab.

If loose contaminating material is detected, recommendations are made as to the suitability of the source for continued use.

Test certificates based on international standards, confirm the satisfactory state of your radioactive sealed source.
