LEAK AND STRENGTH TESTS OF OLD COBALT-60 TELETHERAPY SOURCE CAPSULES SEALED WITH LEAD O-RINGS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4122893
The results of tests on 18 5- to 8-yr old Co/sup 60/ teletherapy sources indicate that the sources will withstand considerable physical shock. However, since they all leaked, their lead O-ring gaskets were in poor condition, and transferable contamination was high, it was recommended that sources of this type be reencapsulated in an all-welded stainless steel can before being reused.
