URI 50-250, 251/93-09-02:
Determine the adequacy of licensee surveys for receipt of packages shipped by exclusive use vehicle.
This issue concerned the adequacy of licensee surveys conducted in association with the receipt of two "exclusive use" radioactive materials shipments.
Licensee routine actions following receipt of an "exclusive use" vehicle shipment included conducting preliminary surveys of direct radiation and contamination levels on the outside of the vehicle and trailer.
Radiological surveys of any individual packages contained within the trailer were not made until the contents were to be unloaded.
CFR 20.205 requires individual packages containing more than the exempt quantities specified in the table in the paragraph to be monitored for radioactive contamination caused by leakage of the contents, no later than three hours after the package is received during normal working hours.
However, the inspector noted that the referenced table specifies Transport Groups which are no longer defined in the applicable regulations.
At the time of the inspection the issue was considered an unresolved item (URI) pending determination of the radionuclides within each transport group and comparison with radionuclides types and quantities listed on the shipping papers for the subject consignments.
Subsequent to review of the issue onsite, the inspector noted the NRC position detailed in NRC Inspection Procedure 86740, dated April 11, 1984, regarding this issue.
The position specified that as a result of the transport group being deleted from the regulations in both
CFR and 49 CFR, compliance with 10 CFR 20.205 is based on the basis of quantity limits expressed in terms of A, and A~ as specified in Table A-1 of 10 CFR 71 or 49 CFR 173.435.
The inspector reviewed radionuclides and associated quantities of each in the packages contained in the original
"exclusive use" shipments reviewed.
All reported nuclides and quantities in the packages were verified to be less than the A, quantities requiring monitoring.
Based on the current evaluation and continued licensee actions regarding "exclusive use" shipment monitoring as described in Inspection Report 50-250, 251/93-09, dated Hay 13, 1992, the inspector informed licensee representatives that this issue would be considered closed.
