On May 2, 2019, a release of Cs-137 from a breached sealed source containing 2,800 curies (Ci) (1E14 Bq) of Cesium-137 (Cs-137) occurred at the University of Washington (UW) Harborview Research and Training Building (HRB). The release occurred during removal of the source from its holder within a portable hot cell in the second floor loading dock area. The loading dock and northeast corner of the building above the ground floor were heavily impacted by the release, while the remaining portions of the building and the exterior of the building were minimally impacted.
