Re: Wipe Tests / Contaminated shipments

[peterson@ridgefield.sdr.slb.com (Carl Peterson)]

Hello Radsafers

Here's my two cents.

In principal, the source or material container should have been wiped prior
to shipment or have been tested for removable activity within the last six
months.

The external wipe I believe is to check up on where the PACKAGE has been
and indirectly the cleanliness of the environments it has been in.

A damaged package is another matter-Don't accept it!

Cheers

Carl
