Attachment 2 Conditions of Use:
a) The Valeo Instruments Company Inc. TGA 3000 Ion Mobilty Spectrometer, (IMS), Gas/Particulate Analyzer Module will be primarily used for detec tion of impurities, s.uch as H20 and 0 2, in Ultra High Purity, (UHP) gases widely used in the semiconductor, LED, and many other manufacturing processes that utilize UHP gases in their manufacturing process. These processes require continuous monitoring for levels of impurities that would be detrimental to quali ty and product throughput.
b) Some other uses and/or applications could include but not limited to the followin g; I ) Detection of trace level surface contaminants on wafers used in the semiconductor industry.
- 2) Air quality monitoring.
- 3) Narcotics Detection.
c) The expected usefu l life of the product through normal usage, and with proper care, should be between IO to 15 years.
d) No Access to the ionization source is afforded by the end user or any individual other than authorized users once the TGA 3000 module has been assembled in accordance with the Valeo Instrument Company Inc. assembly and safety manuals. There is no direct access point to the AM-241 source once assembly has been completed.
e) Due to the design and manufacture of the TGA 3000 module, it is highly unlikely that there wi ll be a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the containment, shielding, or other safety features of the product from wear and abuse likely to occur in norma l handl ing and use of the product during its useful life.
f) Due to the design and manufacture of the TGA 3000 module and if used under normal use and specified operational guidelines the probabi lity is low that the containment, shielding or other sa fety features of the product wou ld fai l, under such circumstances, that a person wou ld 1 of 72
rec i e an external radiation do e or do e commitment in exce s of the do e to the appropriate organ as speci tied in olumn II of the table in 10 CFR 32.2 , and the probability i negligible that a per on would receive an external radiation do e r do e commitment in exces of the dos to the appropriate organ a specified in Column Ill of the tab I in IO FR 32.28. Under nonnal use and conditi n any disposal of a ingle unit or handling, shipping and storage of unit are unlikely to accumulate in one location.

Attachment 3 Valeo TGA 3000 Prototype Testing Objective The objective of this testing is to provide sufficient infonnation and data that verifies the IMS design of the Valeo TGA 3000 will maintain its integrity when subjected to conditions of nom,a l use and Likely accident conditions. Normal use and likely accident conditions may include, but not limited to, those conditions experienced during installation, use, handling, maintenance, storage, and transportation (only normal conditions during transportation need to be considered).
Radioactive Source associated with the Valeo TGA 3000 Each TGA 3000 module wi ll use one scaled Foil Source NRD model number A-00 I. Source material is AM-241 at no less than 17 microcuries and no more than 20 microcuries.
Americium-24 1 Characteristics Americium-241 is a silver-grey metal which decays primarily by alpha panicle emission to Neptunium-237. Low energy gamma radiation accompanies these decays. with the 59.5 kcV gamma emission being of the most imponance.
Alpha 5485 kcV 84.5 %
Alpha 5443 keV 13.0%
Gamma 59.5 kcV 35.9%
Gamma 26.3 keV 2.4 %
Gamma 13.9 keV 42.0 %
Radiation Instrumentation For purposes of measuring stray radiation fo r gamma radiation before and after each of the three (3) tests listed below, A Ludlum model 3 survey meter with a model 44-9 Beta/Gamma detector pancake probe was used for making the radiation measurements in the series of tests described in this section.
The survey meter used for stray radiation measurements before and after each test shall be cal ibrated within 12 months at the time of testing and shall be calibrated against a gamma radiation standard to an acCLLracy o f +/- 10 percent of fu ll scale at a point within the rated energy range.

Test Parameters:
The Valeo Instruments Co1111pany TGA 3000 shall be manufactured by Valeo Instruments Company located in Houston Texas under the authority of State of Texas issued Radioactive Materials License No LO1572.
The tests and measurements defin ed in this document shall be performed on the standard Jon Mobility Spectrometer (IMS) cell assembly which contains, in part, a single Americium 24 1 (Am-24 1) sealed fo il source (- 20 micro curies). Testing of the IMS assembly was chosen as opposed to the testing of the final Model TGA 3000 detector as this cell is the primary containment for the source and contains all the protective equipment.
The prototype testing was accomplished by assembling three TGA 3000 modules in accordance with the assembly manual, as fo und in attachment 5 of this application. The assembled TGA 3000 modules were numbered I, 2, and 3 consecutively, and are referred to as TGA 3000 module# I, TGA 3000, module #2, and TGA 3000 module # 3 for these tests. The AM-241 source serial numbers were recorded for each assembly. TGA 3000 module # 1 was used! as the control test assembly.
External Radiation Levels Three TGA 3000 modules assembled with three different AM-241 sources, @ ~ 20 micro-curies each, were used for the external radiation level testing. The testing was done using a Ludlum model 3 survey meter having a model 44- 9 Beta/Gamma detector pancake probe attached. The detailed description of the tests and the results are in table I below.
Drop testing.
Cell # I was not drop tested and was used as the control device for these tests. Cells # 2 and # 3 were dropped four times each from heights of 36 inches and 48 inches on to a designated safe area with a concrete surface, for a total of eight drops for each cell. The drop area background radiation was measured and recorded.
The cells were pushed from a nat top surface simulating an accidental fa ll from desk top heights and counter top heights. The cells were examined after each drop for visible damage and then radial ion measurements were made at 5 cm, IOcm, 30, and I 00 cm around the entire surface area. The condition and radiation measurements were recorded after each drop. Sec table 2 fo r test results. After completion of the drop test, the designated drop area was surveyed for surface contamination using the Ludlum model 3 Geiger counter.
Thermal breakdown testing.
Cell # I used as control device and was not heated for these tests. Cell # 2 and # 3 were disassembled down to the ceramic and Kovar cell body. A flexible Kapton heater with RTD 2 of 72
thermocouple attached was then wrapped around each cell and re-assembled. The heaters were placed under control of a digital Fuji temperat.ure controller. Radiation measurements were made at 5 cm, IO cm, 30, and I 00 cm around the entire surface area from the surface area of each cell assembly at room ambient temperature. Results were recorded. Cell # 2 and Cell # 3 were then heated to 300 degrees C and held at that temperature for a period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Radiation measurements were taken ac temperature fo r each cell at distances of 5 cm, IOcm, 30 crn and I00 cm and recorded. Background measurements of the designated test area around each cell were made and recorded prior to beginning of the testing. The cells were then allowed to cool to room ambient and radiation measurements were again made and recorded.
Water emersion testing.
IMS Cell # I, used as the control device. Background measurements of the designated test area and water container were made and recorded prior to the start of testing. All cells were measured and recorded for radiation levels from all surfaces at distances of 5 cm, IO cm, 30 cm and I00 cm. IMS Cell # 2 was completely submerged in a container of water for a period of ten minutes.
The surface of the water was surveyed for any contamination above background before removing the cell from the water. The cell was dried and radiation measurements were taken at 5 cm, 10 cm, 30 cm, and I00 cm and recorded. Test repeated for cell # 3.
Results of the prototype testing of the product.
The procedures and results fo r the prototype testing of the TGA 3000 modu les are listed below.

Section 6: Setup
- 1. Place the TGA 3000 Module on a clean, flat, static free surface.
- 2. Remove all caps and plugs from carrier, drift and exit port fittings. Be particularly careful with the drift and exit pori fittings, these are fragile and could break if improperly tightened or loosened. Always use two wrenches, one on interior fitting and one on outer fitting to loosen or tighten hardware,
- 3. Make sure UHP gas supply is off during installation to the TGA 3000 Module. Install desired U HP regulated gas lines with proper fittings, one to carrier and one to drift. The exit port can be left open or plumbed to vent in another area. Ensure ID of exit port tubing used is sufficient to avoid any back pressure on the TGA 3000 module. It is highly recommended that the VCR gaskets and Valeo fitting gaskets be of high quality to ensure leak free connections.
- 4. The maximum flow through TGA 3000 IMS cell is 300 cc/m for a stable spectrum. The typical desired flow would be I00cc carrier and I00cc drift.
This is all measured at the exit port for total flow of 200 to 300 cc/m.
- 5. See table below fo r approximate regulator pressure in psig that will provide 200cc to 300cc total fl ow. In line restrictors may be used to optimize flows.
UHP SUPPLY GAS INLET PRESSURE Argon 20 psig Nitrogen 25 psig Oxygen 22 psig Helium 15 psig 9 of 72
- 6. Tum on UHP gas supply in accordance with table above. Note the TGA 3000 may be run in static condition with ports open in room air with a brushless DC pump with suction side attached to exit port to create flow of ambient room air through the TGA 3000. This would be the desired method for monitoring room ai r contaminants etc.
- 7. Install AC/DC converter power supply provided.
- 8. Slide on/off switch to on. Listen for one short beep. This indicates that self-check is complete and is TGA 3000 is ready. A series of beeps indicates error.
- 9. Open the TGA 3000 folder on the PC desktop and use shortcuts a select program on desktop and wait for window to appear. Follow instructions in figures 4, Sand 6.

Figure 4 Operation The on board PC will have a "TGA 3000" folder located on the desktop, open the folder then use the shortcuts labeled for the analyte and base gas for which it was tested. For example, if the TGA3000 was shipped to measure H20 in nitrogen, the icon located in the "TGA 3000" desktop folder will be labeled, "H20 in nitrogen.
- 1. After the initial power up, verify the sample in is the correct base gas.
- 2. Double click the appropriate shortcut located in the 'TGA 3000" desktop folder.
- 3. Click OK on the following screen(s) which will allow the PC to connect to the detector cell
- 4. Click on the wvf tab to verify the "CONNECT" tab is active on the top row. If t he tab shows CONNECT, the user o press this tab and the name should change to DISCONNECT.

Struckmeyer and Hernando Torres Materials Safety Licensing Branch Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 RE: NRC Request for Additional Information, Valeo Instruments letter dated October 26, 2017; Docket# 030-39061
Dear Mr. Stryckmeyer and Torres:
In response to your letter of October 26, 2017, Valeo Instruments offers the information below. For your convenience, I have rewritten your questions prior to each response.
A.1 . The Valeo Instruments Company (Valeo) application dated May 28, 2017, provides a mailing address for Valeo. Please provide the address of the facility where the TGA 3000 will be manufactured.
The TGA 3000 will be manufactured at:
Valeo Instruments Company, Inc.
8300 Waterbury Drive Houston, Texas 77055 A.2. The Valeo application states that the TGA 3000 has been designed to be an addition to the already in place detection systems rather than a stand-alone device. Please discuss how the TGA 3000 will be distributed, whether it will be distributed as a component to a detection system, or separately. Please identify and provide details on the detection systems that will use the TGA 3000.
The TGA 3000 OEM Module is designed to be a stand-alone detector, with the core technology being Ion Mobility Spectrometry, (IMS}, which may be used in many different applications where IMS would be the technology of choice. The original reference to ualready in place detection systems" was to indicate that customers may install the device into existing gas sampling systems that may or may not use other radioactive devices. Depending on their application, the customer will have the option to choose whether to install the TGA 3000 as a singular gas detection device or in-line with another gas sampling system. The TGA 3000 will perform its detection and impurity analysis independent of any Page 1 of 11
other system. As described 1n section 4 of attachment 7 (The "TGA 3000 Operators Manual") after the TGA 3000 is plugged into a gas sampling line, the only additional requirement is a computer with a USB and an Ethernet port capable of running the Valeo TGA 3000 analysis software.
A.3. In your application you indicated that the expected useful life of the product through normal usage, and with proper care, should be between 10 to 15 years.
Please discuss what factors would cause the device to have a useful life of 15 years vs. lasting 10 years.
The expected useful life of the TGA 3000 OEM Module was determined by using the information supplied by the manufacturer of the custom heater used on the TGA 3000 IMS cell. The heater 1s the one component that would be under the most stress during normal operation. The TGA 3000 can be turned on and left on for as long as desired or it can be cycled on and off at various intervals. The heater manufacturer stated that given our design specs and operating parameters the heater life expectancy would be approximately 10 years if cycled on/off several times a day and approximately 15 years if cycled on/off on a monthly schedule. Thus the 10 to 15 years was indicated in the application. If it pleases, the 10-year expected useful life may be used rather than the 10 to 15 years stated.
A.4. The engineering drawings submitted did not include complete dimensions of the TGA 3000. Please resubmit the engineering drawings to include all of the overall dimensions and the units of measure.
If the TGA 3000 will be distributed as a component to a detection system, provide engineering drawings that include dimensions and units of measure for the de*tection systems.
See attachment 6 Rev 1 for complete dimensions in inches, unless otherwise specified, as well as labels to be used.
A.5. Discuss the assembly methods used by the detection systems.
The assembly methods are explained in attachment 5 along with the quality assurance check points
- A.6. Indicate if the ionization source assembly, assembled by NRD LLC, includes the installation of the source in to the source holder.
This is indicated in attachment 4 , paragraph 3, with reference to drawings 44 100104, and 44100116 of attachment 4 The 20uCi AM-241 foil source is installed into a specially designed stainless-steel source holder, and shipped as a sealed source assembly. The source cavity edges are peened so that the source cannot be removed or fall out. The cavity is so small that human contact with the source , once installed, is highly improbable. The sealed source is shipped completely installed and sealed in the source holder and leak tested and certified by NRD LLC. Prior to shipment to Valeo.

A. 7. Provide the materials of construction used for the TGA 3000 and the detection systems.
The TGA 3000 is an OEM Module. See new attachment 11 for drawings and material call out lists.
A.8. Discuss whether there is any potential for corrosion between unlike materials used in the construction of the TGA 3000 and detection systems.
There 1s no potential for corrosion under normal operating cond1t1ons. The TGA 3000 OEM IMS Cell Assembly is constructed with Kovar, and 96-97.5% AL203, and 18-8 Stainless steel. These materials were selected for similar thermal expansion coefficients for high temp brazing, as well as non-corrosive properties.
A.9. Identify the material used for the label on the TGA 3000.
See 44100101 Rev 1, and 44100102, of attachment 6 for drawings and material specs.
A.10. Based on your description of the TGA 3000, it appears that the TGA 3000 will be incorporated in stand-alone device. Provide the labeling to be used on the stand-alone device to identify the use of radioactive material.
See Attachment 6 drawings 44100101 rev 1 and 44100102.
A.11 . Please provide the maximum allowable temperature, vibration, and shock for the TGA 3000.
Minimum operational temperature -25°C Maximum allowable operating temperature +75°C Vibration Failure at 35 Grms (Gravity Root Means Squared)
Shock 48" static drop failure was bent exit tube.
There were no measured radiation levels above background for any of the tests A.12. Please indicate where the IMS cells were hit when the drop test was performed.
Indicate which part of the cell will be more vulnerable when dropped.
The nature of the IMS cell construction has the majority of the weight being at the front end, or carrier inlet end where the ~- VCR fitting is placed. The majority of the static drops resulted in the IMS cell assembly impacting the concrete floor at approximately 45 degrees and the impact point would always be with the front, VCR fitting, making impact first. The IMS cells were always dropped from a flat surface by being pushed off the edge of the flat surface The drop tests showed that the weak point of the IMS cell would be around the side exit port. None of the cells tested resulted m any breakage of any sort that would diminish the shielding of the AM-241 source. This was shown in the drop test tables in attachment 4.
Page 3 of 11
A.13. Your application indicates that the TGA 3000 IMS module was submitted to 12 months of usage under normal operating conditions as well as periods of severe conditions. Please describe these severe conditions.
The periods of severe conditions were 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> operating at 0°F then removed from freezer environment, allowing for ambient equilibration while running . No failures during this course of action.
The other severe condition was operating in a closed lab oven set to 65°C for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. Again . there were no failures noted at 65°C These conditions were repeated 12 times over the course of several months The carrier and drift gas used for testing under these conditions was UHP Argon .
A.14. The Valeo application provided quality control procedures for the TGA 3000.
NUREG-1556, Volume 3, Revision 2 states that a minimum a Quality Assurance Program needs to ensure that (i) the materials of construction and the final assembly meet the design specifications; (ii) the final product is leak tested ; (iii) a final radiation profile is performed; (iv) a test if performed that verifies that the product operates as intended, including all safety features; and (v) a visual and mechanical inspection is performed of components that are considered related to safety or are expected to be susceptible to failure under extreme or unusual conditions.
Discuss how Valeo intends to meet these items and provide a description of the Valeo Quality Assurance Program on how Valeo will ensure oversight and control over all activities applicable to the design, fabrication, inspection, testing ,
maintenance, repair, modification, and distribution of the TGA 3000.
See the QA procedure checkpoints in Attachment 5 Rev 2 and the QA procedures found in New attachment 13 A.15. Please discuss whether the TGA 3000 or the stand-alone detection systems are fixed or portable.
The TGA 3000 can be either portable or fixed depending on application and end user requirements. Since the TGA is designed to be plug and play, the end user may choose to install the TGA 3000 into a fixed installation for gas sampling or to install into a portable format that could be moved to different sampling locations.
8 .1. Section 32.30(b)(3) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the chemical and physical form of the byproduct material in the product and changes in chemical and physical form that may occur during the useful life of the product.
The NRD A-001 Am-241 source used in the TGA 3000 is a foil source. The foil construction is comprised of a gold or silver overcoat and undercoat, gold or silver plus americium-241 oxide active layer and silver or gold backing 0.006-0.007 inch 1n thickness that are welded and rolled to give complete sealage. The entire surface of the sealed unit is gold plated. The standard foil is fabricated with the active layer centered between two inactive margins Page 4 of 11
The properties of the precious metals are well known and there will be no significant change in the chemical or physical form of the sources during their useful life. A study was made by R. G. Niemeyer ("Containment Integrity of 226 Ra and 241 Am Foils Employed in Smoke Detectors," ORNL-TM-2684 (1969) on foils which had been in normal use m smoke alarms for 5-14 years and no aging effects were observed. Niemeyer concluded that the foils could adequately contain the radioactive material, in normal use environments, for a 50-year lifetime. The projected useful life of the TGA 3000 is a maximum of 15 years.
B.2. Section 32.30(b)(4) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the solubility in water and body fluids of the forms of the byproduct material contained in the product.
REF: R. S. Neimeyer {ORNL-TM-2684) performed a total of 23 twenty four hour water leach tests and 15 three week water leach tests on eight Am241 foils which had been removed from five to six year old smoke alarms. The sources contained approximately 15 microcuries of Am241 each and half of the sources were deliberately damaged by drawing a sharp tool along the entire length of the foil before the leach tests. The maximum activity leached in these tests was 0.0045 microcuries. which was less than the 0.005 microcuries of leakage allowed by NRC's standard leak test condition for alpha sources. The average activity leached during the 38 tests was 0.9 nanocuries and 11 of the 38 tests leached less than 0.02 nanocuries.
Ref: Dale H. Denman, Batelle Pacific Northwest Laboratory, Health Physics 1.§.,
480 ( 1969} stated, with a literature citation to ICRP Report 11. "Because most of the compounds of the transplutonium elements are insoluble in biological fluids, ingestion and percutaneous absorption are unlikely to result in significant body burdens. For example, less than 0.01 %of the Americium 241 taken into the gut ultimately reaches the critical organ, bone. Hence, at least 500 Micro C1 of insoluble Am241 must be ingested to product one bone burden (0.05 Micro Ci}."
Since the Am241 used in the Valeo TGA 3000 is Am02, intimately bound in a matrix of precious metals, leaching of Am241 into body fluids from these sources would be less than stated above for insoluble compounds of Americium .
8.3. Section 32.30(b)(5) requires the applicant to submit information concerning details of construction and design as related to containment and shielding and other safety features under normal and severe conditions of handling, storage, use, and disposal. The response to this item may be provided in conjunction with items 4 through 7 in Part A of this enclosure.
See the responses A4 through A?.
8.4. Section 32.30(b)(6) requires the applicant to submit information concerning maximum external radiation levels at 5 and 25 cm from external surface of product and the method of measurement. Your application provided radiation profiles at 5, 10, 30, and 100 cm, but not 25 cm as required by Section 32.30(b}(6). The response to this item may be provided in conjunction with item 14(iii} in Part A of this enclosure.
Page 5 of 11
See the revised test results found in attachment 3 rev 1.
8.5. Section 32.30(b}(7) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the degree of access to human beings during normal use.
In Enclosure 2, Item (d) of your application, you stated: "No access to the ionization source is afforded by the end user or any individual other than authorized users once the TGA 3000 module has been assembled in accordance with the Valeo Instrument Company Inc. assembly and safety manuals. There is no direct access point to the AM-241 source once assembly has been completed."
Please explain what is meant by "authorized users" and how they differ from "end users." The statement as written appears to be self-contradictory.
As shown and explained in the attachments under normal use conditions there is no access to the source. The source can only be accessed by disassembly of the IMS cell which is only authorized to be done by Valeo employees. Authorized users, as listed in enclosure 2 should have been defined as only Valeo employees trained in all aspects of operation, assembly, radiation safety and quality control for the TGA 3000. This is what was meant by authorized user.
8 .6. Section 32.30(b)(8) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the total quantity of byproduct material expected to be distributed annually.
Projections for demand and manufacturing schedules indicate that in the first year of production a maximum of 25 units would be distributed. Within 3 years 1t is anticipated that the maximum manufacture and distribution of TGA 3000 will be 100 units per year.
8 .7. Section 32.30(b)(10) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the proposed method of labeling or marking the product and its point of sale package to satisfy the requirements of§ 32.32(b}. Although you provided information concerning this requirement that pertains to Sections 32.26 and 32.29, you should submit such information to show how you would satisfy Sections 32.30 and 32.32. The response to this item may be provided in conjunction with Items 9 and 10 in Part A of the enclosure. Please provide revised drawings that show labeling that complies with § 32.30 and § 32.32.
As noted in response A9 and A10 above, attachment 6 contains the requested information showing labels.
Section 32.32(b) provides the details of the requirements of Section 32.30(b)(10) pertaining to labeling. Section 32.32(b) requires the applicant to submit the following information concerning product labeling:
Label or mark each device and its point-of-sale package so that:
Each item has a durable, legible, readily visible label or marking on the external surface of the devi,ce containing:
Page 6 of 11
The following statement: "CONTAINS RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL";
The name of the radionuclide(s) and quantity(ies) of activity; An identification of the person licensed under§ 32.30 to transfer the device for use under § 30.22 of this chapter or equivalent regulations of an Agreement State; and Instructions and precautions necessary to assure safe installation, operation, and servicing of the device (documents such as operating and service manuals may be identified in the label and used to provide this information).
The external surface of the point-of-sale package has a legible, readily visible label or marking containing:
The name of the radionuclide and quantity of activity; An identification of the person licensed under§ 32.30 to transfer the device for use under § 30.22 of this chapter or equivalent regulations of an Agreement State; and The following or a substantially similar statement: "THIS DEVICE CONTAINS RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL AND HAS BEEN MANUFACTURED IN COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION SAFETY CRITERIA IN 10 CFR 32.31. THE PURCHASER IS EXEMPT FROM ANY REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
See the label in Attachment 6 The following two requirements from Section 32.30 will be satisfied provided that sufficient information is supplied that addresses the referenced portions of Section 32.31 , which is discussed in greater detail below.
Section 32.30(b)(13) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the estimated external radiation doses and committed doses resulting from the intake of byproduct material in any one year relevant to the safety criteria in § 32.31 and the basis for these estimates; Section 32.30(b)(14) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the determination that the probabilities with respect to the doses referred to in § 32.31 (a)(4) meet the criteria of that paragraph; With regard to items 8 and 9 below, you provided statements, without supporting evidence, that were intended to address the requirements of 10 CFR 32.28. The requirement that should be addressed is 10 CFR 32.31, which is similar.
Specifically, in Enclosure 2, Item (e) of your application, you stated:
Due to the design and manufacture of the TGA 3000 module, it is highly unlikely that there will be a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the containment, shielding, or other safety features of the product from wear and abuse likely to occur in normal handling and use of the product during its useful life.
Page 7 of 11
Also, in Enclosure 2, Item (f) of your application, you stated:
Due to the design and manufacture of the TGA 3000 module and if used under normal use and specified operational guidelines the probability is low that the containment, shielding or other safety features of the product would fail, under such circumstances, that a person would receive an external radiation dose or dose commitment in excess of the dose to the appropriate organ as specified in Column II of the table in 10 CFR 32.28, and the probability is negligible that a person would receive an external radiation dose or dose commitment in excess of the dose to the appropriate organ as specified in Column Ill of the table in 10 CFR 32.28. Under normal use and conditions any disposal of a single unit or handling, shipping and storage of units are unlikely to accumulate in one location.
The quoted statements do not by themselves satisfy the requirements of 10 CFR 32.31 . To do so, you should provide the details requested in Items 8 and 9 .
See the "Radiological Assessment of The Valeo TGA 3000" found in the new Attachment 14.
B.8. Section 32.31(a) requires an applicant for a license under § 32.30 to demonstrate that the device is designed and will be manufactured so that:
In normal use, handling, and storage of the quantities of exempt units likely to accumulate in one location, including during marketing, distribution, installation, and servicing of the device, it is unlikely that the external radiation dose in anyone year, or the committed dose resulting from the intake of radioactive material in any one year, to a suitable sample of the group of individuals expected to be most highly exposed to radiation or radioactive material from the device will exceed 200 µSv (20 mrem).
Please provide an evaluation which demonstrates that this requirement will be met. Methodologies for making such a demonstration are provided in NUREG-1717, "Systematic Radiological Assessment of Exemptions for Source and Byproduct Materials," available at: https://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/nuregs/staff/sr1717/. Note that NUREG-1717 was published pirior to the establishment of the regulations in 10 CFR 30.22 and 10 CFR 32.30; however, the methodologies provided for gas and aerosol detectors are generally applicable to the type of industrial device in your application.
It is unlikely that the external radiation dose in any 1 year, or the committed dose resulting from the intake of radioactive material in any 1 year, to a suitable sample of the group of individuals expected to be most highly exposed to radiation or radioactive material from disposal of the quantities of units likely to accumulate in the same disposal site will exceed 10 µSv (1 mrem).
Please provide an evaluation which demonstrates that this requirement will be met.

It is unlikely that there will be a significant reduction in the effectiveness of the containment, shielding, or other safety features of the device from wear and abuse likely to occur in normal handling and use of the device during its useful life.
Please provide an evaluation which demonstrates that this requirement will be met.
In use, handling, storage, and disposal of the quantities of exempt units likely to accumulate in one location, including during marketing, distribution, installation, and servicing of the device, the probability is low that the containment, shielding, or other safety features of the device would fail under such circumstances that a person would receive an external radiation dose or committed dose in excess of 5 mSv (500 mrem), and the probability is negligible that a person would receive an external radiation dose or committed dose of 100 mSv (10 rem) or greater.
See the "Radiological Assessment of The Valeo TGA 3000" found in the new Attachment 14.
(The footnote to Section 32.31 (a)(4) states: "It is the Intent of this paragraph that as the magnitude of the potential dose Increases above that permitted under normal conditions, the probability that any individual will receive such a dose must decrease. The probabilities have been expressed In general terms to emphasize the approximate nature of the estimates that are to be made. The following values may be used as guides In estimating compliance with the criteria: Low - not more than one such failure/incident per year for each 10,000 exempt units distributed.
Negligible - not more than one such failure/incident per year for each one million exempt units distributed.")
Please provide an evaluation which demonstrates that this requirement will be met.
B.9. Section 32.31(b) requires an applicant for a license under§ 32.30 to demonstrate that, even in unlikely scenarios of misuse, including those resulting In direct exposure to the unshielded source removed from the device for 1,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> at an average distance of 1 meter and those resulting in dispersal and subsequent intake of 10-4 of the quantity of byproduct material (or in the case of tritium, an intake of 10 percent), a person will not receive an external radiation dose or committed dose in excess of 100 mSv (10 rem), and, if the unshielded source is small enough to fit in a pocket, that the dose to localized areas of skin averaged over areas no larger than 1 square centimeter from carrying the unshielded source in a pocket for 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> will not exceed 2 Sv (200 rem).

Radiological Assessment Of the Valeo TGA 3000 Discussion:
In order, to evaluate the potential doses from the distribution of the TGA 3000, existing data on chemical detectors containing Am-241 was gleaned from NU REG 1717. NU REG 1717 presents dose data for the distribution of chemical detectors containing 160 µCi of Am-241 . The TGA 3000 only contains a maximum activity of 20 µCi of Am-241. This is an activity red uction of 87.5%. Additionally, Collective Effective Dose Equivalent estimates were made assuming an annual distribution of 10,000 detectors, while it is anticipated that the TGA 3000 will have a maximum distribution of just 100 units annually which is a 99%
difference. Thus, the results given in the dose tables below for the TGA 3000 were reduced by 87.5% for Individual Annual Effective Dose Equivalent and by 99% for the "Collective Effective Dose Equivalent". All other conclusions and assumptions discussed in NU REG 1717, rega rding the analysis of chemical detectors (including Distribution and Transport; Routine Use; Disposal; Accidents and Misuse; and Safety Criteria), were considered to be applicable to the TGA 3000 estimates of dose.

Section 6: Setup
- 1. Place the TGA 3000 Module on a clean, flat, static free surface.
- 2. Remove all caps and plugs from carrier, drift and exit port fittings. Be particularly careful with the drift and exit port fittings, these are fragile and could break if improperly tightened or loosened. Always use two wrenches, one on interior fitting and one on outer fitting to loosen or tighten hardware,
- 3. Make sure UHP gas suppl y is off during installation to the TGA 3000 Module. Install desired UHP regulated gas lines wi th proper fittings, one to carrier and one to drift. The exit port can be left open or plumbed to vent in another area. Ensure ID of exit port tubing used is sufficient to avoid any back pressure on the TGA 3000 module. Jt is highly recommended that the VCR gaskets and Valeo fitting gaskets be of high quali ty to ensure leak free connections.
- 4. The maximum flow through TGA 3000 IMS cell is 300 cc/m for a stable spectrum. The typical desired flow would be 100cc carrier and l 00cc drift.
This is all measured at the exit port for total flow of 200 to 300 cc/m.
- 5. See table below for approximate regulator pressure in psig that will provide 200cc to 300cc total fl ow. In line restrictors may be used to optimize flows.

Analytical devices/systems January 5, 2018 Tomas Herrera Materials Safety Licensing Branch Division of Material Safety, State, Tribal, and Rulemaking Programs Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards U.S. NRC 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, MD 20852 RE: NRC Request for Additional Information, Valeo Instruments letter dated December 13, 2017; Docket# 030-39061
Dear Mr. Herrera:
In response to your email of December 13, 2017, Valeo Instruments offers the information below. For your convenience, I have rewritten your questions prior to each response.
- 1. Please resubmit the drawing in Attachment 6 "Radioactive labeling," so that is legible. We intend to use this drawing in the sealed source and device registration certificate. In addition, please provide the overall width of the TGA 3000.
Please find a clean pdf of the requested "Radioactive Labeling" drawing in attachment 1 of this response. As for the overall dimensions of the TGA 3000, these are called out in drawing 22100104 Rev 1 sheet 3 of 4; sheet 4 of 4; and in drawing 44100152 Y25932 (found in attachment 2, 3, and 4 of this response) . As noted on these drawing the overall dimensions of a completed TGA 3000 are 10.250 inches (L) x 4. 75 inches (W) x 3.57 inches (Hor thickness).
- 2. In your letter dated November 20, 2017, in your response to A.6, you reference a drawing number 4410016. We were not able to locate a drawing with that number in the response. Please resubmit drawing number4410016.
The drawing number given as 4410016 was a typo and should have been 44100106 Y25903. Please see the correct drawing in attachment 5 of this response.
- 3. Please identify the material used in the in the construction of the frame for the Page 1 of 3 P.O. Box 55603 Houston, Texas 77255 Telephone (713) 688*9345 Fax (713) 688*8106 www.vici.com
TGA 3000.
As identified in sheet 4 of 4 of drawing 22100104 Rev 1 (Attachment 3 of this response), the top and bottom plates of the TGA 3000 are machined from 5052 H32 aluminum sheet. The supports are nickel plated stainless steel, 0.250 hex stand offs. The fasteners are made from 18-8 stainless steel.
- 4. Please confirm as part of Valco's Quality Assurance program that Valeo will perform a final radiation survey to verify that the radiation levels do not exceed the maximum values stated in the application prior to distribution of the product.
Valeo confirms that as a part of the quality assurance program each completed TGA will have a final radiation survey performed and documented as shown in the TGA 3000 shipping survey instructions PN 48100102 (attachment 6 of this response) the TGA 3000 Final Radiation Survey Form RAF 1001 (attachment 7 of this response), and Radioactive Material Container Survey Form RAF 1002 (attachment 8 of this response). A copy of this final survey will be included with each TGA 3000 shipped to the end user.
- 5. In response to Question 8.9 you stated that the required analysis can be found in "Radiological Assessment of The Valeo TGA 3000," Attachment 14. However, it does not appear that the requirement of Section 32.31(b) was addressed. As stated in our first RAI, Section 32.31(b) requires an applicant for a license undeir § 32.30 to demonstrate that, even in unlikely scenarios of misuse, including those resulting in direct exposure to the unshielded source removed from the device for 1,000 hours0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> at an average distance of 1 meter and those resulting in dispersal and subsequent intake of 10-4 of the quantity of byproduct material (or in the case of tritium, an intake of 10 percent), a person will not receive an external radiation dose or committed dose in excess of 100 mSv (10 rem), and, if the unshielded source is small enough to fit in a pocket, that the dose to localized areas of skin averaged over areas no larger than 1 square centimeter from carrying the unshielded source in a pocket for 80 hours9.259259e-4 days <br />0.0222 hours <br />1.322751e-4 weeks <br />3.044e-5 months <br /> will not exceed 2 Sv (200 rem).
Please provide an evaluation which demonstrates that this requirement will be met.
Please find a revised version of the "Radiological Assessment of the Valeo TGA 3000" in attachment 9 of this response that includes these evaluations.
- 6. In Attachment 6, "Radiological Assessment of the Valeo TGA 3000," your evaluation appears to overestimate the potential doses from the distribution of the TGA 3000. You stated that the quantity of Am-241 in your product is 20 µCi, which is 12.5% (20 I 160 = 0.125) of the quantity used in NUREG-1717. Also, you Page 2 of 3
stated that 100 units would be distributed annually, which is 1% (100 I 10,000 :=
0.01) of the number assumed in NUREG-1717. Therefore, it appears that for "distribution and transport" the value for "Individual Annual Effective Dose Equivalent" should be (0.4)*(0.125)*(0.01) = 0.0005 mrem, and the other results should adjusted accordingly.
Please see the revised tables in attachment 9 of this response.
- 7. Question B.7 of our first RAI stated that Section 32.30(b)(10) requires the applicant to submit information concerning the proposed method of labeling or marking the product and its point of sale package to satisfy the requirements of§ 32.32(b). In addition to providing a new drawing for Attachment 6 , "Radioactive:
labeling," that is more legible and includes the overall width of the device, please ensure that all of the requirements stated in question B.7 are met and are described in your reply.
As stated in response 1 above, a cleaner copy of the radioactive warning label can be found in attachment 1 of this response. Additionally, in attachment 10 of this response please find a drawing showing the Point of Sale labeling that meiets the requirements of 32.32(b).
I believe that the above and the attached answers your request for more information concerning the Valeo TGA 3000. Should you have any questions please call me at (713)688-9345 or email me at Stan@vici.com .

Radiological Assessment Of the Valeo TGA 3000 Discussion:
In order, to evaluate the potential doses from the distribution of the TGA 3000, existing data on chemical detectors containing Am-241 was gleaned from NUREG 1717. NUREG 1717 presents dose data for the distribution of chemical detectors containing 160 µCi of Am-241. The TGA 3000 only contains a maximum activity of 20 µCi of Am-241 . This is an activity reduction of 87.5%. Additionally, Collective Effective Dose Equivalent estimates were made assuming an annual distribution of 10,000 detectors, while it is anticipated that the TGA 3000 will have a maximum distribution of just 100 units annually which is a 99%
difference. Thus, the results given in the dose tables below for the TGA 3000 were reduced by 87.5% for "Individual Annual Effective Dose Equivalent and by 99% for the "Collective Effective Dose Equivalent". All other conclusions and assumptions discussed in NUREG 1717, regarding the analysis of chemical detectors (including Distribution and Transport; Routine Use; Disposal; Accidents and Misuse; and Safety Criteria), were considered to be applicable to the TGA 3000 estimates of dose.
Tables:
Table 1 Potential Radiation Doses From The TGA 3000 Exposure Pathway Individual Annual Collective Effective Dose Effective Dose Equivalent Equivalentb (mREM)1 (Person-REM)

b Collective doses are based on (1) an assumed annual distribution of 100 TGA 3000's containing 0.2 mCi of 241Am each and (2) an assumed 10-year effective lifetime for the detectors.
c Dose estimate applies to local parcel-delivery drivers exposed to multiple exempt units in wholesale warehouses during distribution and transport; dose estimates are significantly less for other truck drivers, workers in truck terminals, and members of public along truck routes (see Section 2.15.5.1 of NUREG 1717).
d Dose estimate applies to a user of a portable chemical detector containing an 241Am source; dose estimates are less for a user of a fixed chemical detector containing an 241 Am source (see Section 2.15.5.2 of NU REG 1717).
e Dose estimate applies to waste collectors exposed to multiple chemical detectors during disposal at landfills; dosu
estimates are significantly less for workers at landfills, off-site members of the public, and future on-site residents (see Section 2.15.5.3 of NUREG 1717).
f Dose estimate applies to waste collectors exposed to multiple chemical detectors during disposal at incinerators; dose estimates are significantly less for other workers at incinerators and off-site members of the public (see Section 2.15.5.3 of NUREG 1717).
g Dose estimate applies to a worker who are involved in the cleanup following the transportation fire involving multiple chemical detectors with 241Am sources (see Section 2.15.5.4 of NUREG 1717).

Estimate of external dose commitment from exposure to the unshielded 20 1,1Ci Tl3A Am-241 source for 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> at an average distance of 1 meter from the source:
Per the guidance in NU REG 1717 Section 2.15.4.4 the dose rate at one meter from a 1
µCi Am-241 source is 9 nrem/hr. The TGA 3000 contains a 20 µCi source and therefom the dose rate can be calculated as 180 nrem/hr. Using this dose rate to calculate the total dose from a bare TGA 3000 source for 1000 hours0.0116 days <br />0.278 hours <br />0.00165 weeks <br />3.805e-4 months <br /> the result is 180 1,1rem (0.00018 rem).
Estimated Internal Dose Commitments do to the ingestion of 104 of the 20 µCurie foil from a TGA 3000:
The Am-241 is intimately bound in a foil matrix of precious metals which is then crimped into a metal holder. Ingestion of a source is virtually impossible except by deliberate disassembly of the TGA 3000 and deliberate destruction of the source. However, in the unlikely event that the 20 µCurie source was destroyed it is assumed that 1Q-4 is ingestHd.
The SO-year dose commitment is calculated as:
Ingestion Activity = 0.002 µCi Critical Organ = Bone Fraction of ingested Am02that reaches the bone = 1Q-4 Effective energy per disintegration = 5.5 MeV
= 0.002µCi x 10-4 x 2.2 x 106 d/m/u Ci x 5.5 MeV/d x 1.6 x 108 g. rad/MeV x 10 rem/rad J<
1/5 x 101 g bone x 60 m/hr x 24 hr/d x 365 d/y x oi5° e-'1dt Where:
A= 0.693/458y t =50y 0.002 µCi x 960 mrem/µCi = 1.92 mrem (0.00192 rem)

Per NUREG 1717 the dose equivalent to the skin at a nominal distance of 1 cm from handling a 1 µCi Am-241 source for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> is calculated to be 30 mrem.
