2. Irradiation Test Facility
a. Description - See Attached.
b. Dosimetry was performed using a Victoreen Model 555 Integrating dose Rate Meter and Probe. The unit was calibrated on 1-15-71 by the Victoreen Instrument Company, using cobalt-60 and cesium-137 sources whose calibrations are traceable to the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. A copy of the calibration certificate is available. Backup dosimetry using Harshaw TLD devices, and also a modified Fricke chemical system, confirmed the Victoreen readings.
c. Flux distribution in Irradiation Chamber (1)

At 1 x 105 rad/hr., the flux is described as a cylinder 50" from the source centerline, over a vertical height of approximately 45".

Assuming a dose rate range of 1.0 to 1.20, the cylinder becomes an annulus with inner radius of 41" and outer radius of 50", with the 1.2 factor at 41".

(2)

At 1 x 106 rad per hour, the flux is described as a cylinder 15" from the source centerline extending over a vertical height of approximately 53".

Assuming a dose rate range of 1.0 to 1.3, the cylinder becomes an annulus with inner radius of 9" and outer radius of 15", with the 1.3 factor at 9".

3. Test Procedure Used
a. Test performed was per Test Schedule No. 5, dated 12/10/72, previously provided by Foxboro, and revised May, 1973.
b. Irradiator operation was basically per last paragraph of Item 2a.

Transmitters were positioned at pre selected distances from the source irradiate position.

The source, when raised, is then locked into its irradiate position.

5. Attestation of Data An Isomedix employee (the hot cell operator) initialed test data on each run, signifying that data was taken as specified.

SERVICE IRRADIATOR DESCRIPTION irradiations are normally conducted in the hot cell 2-3 complex (drawing 80004.).' Product to be processed is placed on a series of turntables arranged in a circular configuration.

The source is placed in the center of this arrangement for a preset time.

The source elements are placed in 1/2" diameter 60".long stainless tubes, held in a squirrel-cage type holder.

Two or three sources are placed in each tube.

In the storage position the source holder is lowered into the water filled pool-to-cell transfer chute to a depth of at least 10 feet, where the surface reading is zero.

The source is connected by a stainless steel cable to an electrically driven windup drum mounted on a jib crane in the cell.

To expose the source, the operator, from the face of the cell, remotely operates the hoist until the source has cleared the storage tube.

Using manipulators, he swings the crane into the irradiate position.

An opposite sequence is used to lower the source.

In the event of an electrical malfunction, the source can be lowered manually by turning a handle on a flywheel mounted to the drum with one of the two nearest manipulators.

In any malfunctio *n, personnel safety is main tained as long as the cell remains closed.
