SSINS No.- 6870 Accession No. 808220287 UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION OFFICE OF INSFECTION AND ENFORCEMENT WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 January 23, 1981 IE Information Notice No. 81-02: TRI.NSp0RTATION OF RADIOGRAPHY DEVICES

Background:

Recent inspections by NRC have identified frequent noncompliance with trans-portation regulations by radiography licensees. As of December 3, 1979, the NRC inspection program has included inspection / enforcement of DOT regulations in 49 CFR 170-178 as direct NRC requirements (see 10 CFR 71.5). The nature of radiography operations is somewhat unique in that radiography devices most frequently serve a dual function; that is, they serve as operational radiography cameras / source changers and as transportation packages. Historically, this has caused some confusion on the part of radiography users. particularly with respect to sorting out the transport reg,ulatory requirements of 49 CFR/10 CFR 71 from the operational requirements of 10 CFR 34 and the specific license which has been issued to the radiography user. Another source of confusion for the radiography operator is that he most frequently functions, with respect to the transportation regulations, in the dual role of both shipper and carrier. This notice discusses some of the pertinent transportation requirements for radiography devices when ured as transport " packages." The explanations should help to clarify the application of operational licensing requirements versus transport requirements applicable to shippers and carriers, thereby enhancing regulatory compliance with the requirements. Discussions: Source Desi.m -- Radiography sources contained within a device are always encapsulated (Co M or Ir-192) and, therefore, meet the physical integrity requirements of "spe.cial form" as defined in 49 CFR 173.389(g) and 173.398(a). Rad 2vgraphy transporters are teminded that these requirements call for each shipper ef : :p:cial form source to maintain a file of supporting safety analysis or documentation containing the results of the testing performed on the source to demonstrate that it meets the special form requirements. This E R " E."6ACM h & A'fd e f 9f M g gattually perform the tests, only that paf the tests. As a practical matter, DUPLICATE DOCUMENT [is records a file of sunh data for each be necessary, therefore, for the l formation from his source supplier. l Entire dccu:.ent previously b entered into system under: I ANo &B$8930 A87 No. of pages: h f % mg_$h $$Yk,w$hk m.m _,.m .N SNdlkh. bl gunmanu n n}}
