1.

Organization The finni responsibility for the Quality Assurance Program for part 71 of 10 CFR, U.S. Nuclear tagulatory Commission Rules and Regulations rests with Duraloy.

Designing and fabrication of radioactive material shipping packages shall not be conducted under this Quality Assurance Program.

The attached chart shova the formal Quality Assurance organization. The Radiation Safety Officer is responsible for overall administration of the program, training and certification, document control and auditing. The radiographers are respon-sible for hnndling, storing, shipping, inspection, test, operating status and record keeping.

2.

Quality Assurance Program The management of Duroloy has established and implemented the Quality Assurance Program and attached it to the operating and emergency procedures asSection XII (3-13-81 revision date).

2.1 Training Training in oil the Quality Assurance functions must be completed prior to performing any of these functions according to written procedures.

2.2 Quality Assurance revisions will be made according to written j'

procedures by the Radiation Safety Officer and management approval.

l l

2.3 Quality Assurance Program includes documentation from the vendors I

stating that the necessary certification of engineering procedures l

and specific provisions of the package design approval are satisfied.

L The Radiation Safety Officer shall be responsibic for obtaining I

necessary document from vendor.

l 2.4 Quality Assurance Program will emphasize control of the characteristics l

of the package which are critical to safety.

SECTION XII s

Q. A. Program for Receiving and Shipment of Radiographic ltat erials PART I 1.0' ilANDLING, SilIPPING AND RECEIVING PROCEDURES' L

1.1 General Information Radiographic exposure devices used by Duraloy Blaw-Knox are received and shipped in vendor-supplied Uranium-shielded storage container end outside packaging, meeting 1.A.E.A. and USNRC specifications requirements for all i

modes of transportation.

1.2 11andling, shipping and Receiving Procedures The following instructions are common for all radiation sources shi}. ped from Duraloy Blaw-Knox.

A.

A survey shall be made by a radiographer using a L-calibrated operative survey meter for determina-l tion of the following:

1.

The survey shall ancertain that the radio-active isotope is in the shicided storage con-tainer or off position, secured properly by locking and safety wire where applicable.

2.

The limits of radiation allowed during this survey are defined by Section 34.21, 10 CFR, Part 34.

I 3.

When the shicided storage container is deemed safe, the radiographer will place this unit into the outside shipping package, making certain the shielded storage container is secure.

B.

The radiographer shall bolt lid (cap) on outside package and seal (wire scal).

C.

The radiographer shall ascertain proper shipping information on the shipping package for labels and tags.
