Leak Test Services

Most radioactive materials licenses require that sealed sources be leak tested every six months.  RSSI provides accurate sealed source leak testing on our automated, low-background internal proportional planchette counter.  Leak tests are analyzed within 5 business days  of being received in our lab and the results can be faxed or emailed in addition to the hard copy that is sent to you.  In emergency situations, sealed source leak tests can be analyzed immediately upon receipt and the results sent back to you by fax or email in just a few hours.  We operate under Illinois Emergency Management Agency License IL-01429-01 and are approved by Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission R-116.

Typical MDAs:

Alpha, 6 x 10-2 Bq (1.7 x 10-6 μCi)
Cs-137, 8.5 x 10-2 Bq (2.2 x 10-6 μCi)
H-3, 1.2 Bq (3.1 x 10-5 μCi)
