g Re f:SA/J0L All Agreement States NRC BULLETIN 03 CERTAIN KAY-RAY GAUGES
~
On at least three occasions in the past year, fractures have occurred at the weld between the dome and the box of source he-ds used in Kay-Ray Gauges, Model s 7050, 70508, 7051, 70518, 7060, 70608, 7061 and 70618.
These weld fractures caused the dome to separate from the box exposing the 500 millicurie cesium-137 sealed source.
In one case, the source fell loose and was completely exposed.
To correct the potential hazard, Kay-Ray has developed a support bracket which they will supply free of charge to affected licensees which is 3
intended to prevent dome separation if a fracture occurs. On June 30, j
1978, Kay-Ray wrote to affected customers noti fying them of the avail-aoility of the support bracket and asking them to return a card confirming j
possession of the source heads (Enclosure A). A number of Kay-Ray custo-mers have not returned the card.
Ninety-two customers are located in Agreement States and subject to Agree-ment State jurisdiction (Enclosure B).
Because of the incomplete response to Kay-Ray's June 30, 1978 letter and tne potential radiation hazard which may result if the units are not modi-fied, tRC is contacting all affected customers within NRC's jurisdiction through IE Bulletin No. 78-13, dated October 27, 1978 (Enclosure C).
The Eulletia contains a form to be returned to NRC and a card to be mailed to Kay-Ray i f the source is still in possession of the licensee.
We ask that each of the Agreement States havino affected Kay-Ray customers within their jurisdiction to do at least the f:llowing: Write to each customer in your State notifying them of the potential hazard; ask each custcmer to take the actions recuested in the IE Bulletin and obtain confirmation that the actions have been taken.

'!e would also appreciate a summary of the results of your efforts.
g If you or your licensees encounter any problems or have any questions, please contact either myself or Joel Lubenau. We are enclosing, in addition to the copy of the IE Bulletin, extra copies of Kay-Ray's June 30, 1978 letter to its customers and extra Kay-Ray post cards.
