Tlus document 12.4 Radioactive Materials Safety il ulu provides a standard format for the safety analysis reports rcquired by the Commi>sion's regulations and identifies the principalinformation needed by the Regulatory staff 12.4.1 Materials Safety Programs in order to conduct its safety evatustions.

To obtain the infomiation referenced to the degree they are appheabl needed to perform its evaluation the staff has had to request this infurnutsun by directing written questions 12.4.2 Facilities sed Equipment to each applicant.

Specification by other persons specifically authorized W

by the Comission or an agreement State, as follows:

Radioactive sources shall be leak tested for contamination, 1.

All other sources (including alpha emitters) dicating that a test has been made within six months prior to the t,a containing greater than 0.1 microcuries are also to be leak transfer, scaled sources shall not be put into use until tested.-

2 Surveillance Requirement (Cont'd) 3.

Startup sources shall be leak tested prior to and following any repair or maintenance and before being subjected to core flux.

O Bases Ingestion or inhalation of source material may give rise to total body or organ irradiation. This specification assures that leakage from radioactive material sources does not exceed allowable limits.

In the unlikely event. hat t

those quantities of radioactive by-product materials of interest to this specification which are exempt from leakage testing are ingested or inhaled, they represent less than llh one maximum permissible body burden for total body

[3' irradiation. The limits for all other sources (including co alpha emitters) are based upon 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for
