| THIS RADIO-PHARMACY LICENSEE REPORTED THAT THEY ARE REQUIRED TO STORE THEIR  |
| MATERIALS (XENON 133 AND IODINE 131) UNDER A FUME HOOD, BUT DUE TO AN        |
| EQUIPMENT FAILURE THEY HAD TO RELOCATE THE MATERIALS.                        |
|                                                                              |
| THIS OCCURRED WHEN THEY DETERMINED THAT THE FUME HOOD WAS NOT OPERATING.     |
| UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE DISCOVERED THAT THE SHAFT ON THE MOTOR THAT   |
| DRIVES THE FUME HOOD FAN HAD SHEARED IN HALF. IT WILL BE A DAY BEFORE THE    |
| FUME HOOD WILL BE RETURNED TO SERVICE. THE MATERIALS HAVE BEEN MOVED TO A    |
| MINI VENTILATION CABINET(WHICH HAS A LOWER VOLUME FLOW RATE) LOCATED NEXT    |
| TO THE FUME HOOD. FOR AN INTERIM MEASURE THE USE OF THIS MINI CABINET IS     |
| ACCEPTABLE UNTIL THE FUME HOOD IS PUT BACK IN SERVICE (APPROX 36 HRS).       |
