Gamma sources of {sup 137} Cesium that are double encapsulated in stainless steel may be used in nuclear instruments calibration, in medical blood irradiators, and in various research applications. The production of such gamma sources in the US was reestablished by the US Department of Energy at the Hanford Site in Richland, Washington. This paper describes (1) the assembly process used at Hanford to encapsulate radioactive {sup 137}Cesium in a remote environment, and (2) the equipment and process used to assemble and test two types of double-encapsulated sources.
