Background:
. Reference (a) established the requirement;for-SIMON. LAKE to execute the subject QA program and. state the
- required attributes of the program.
4.
Scope:. <This instruction applies only to shipping packages
. intended'for use with. radioactive material associated,with radiography-It specifically does not apply to shipping of
- radioactive materials associated with Naval Nuclear Propulsion Plants'.
S.
Psocedures:
Enclosure (.1 ) lista definitions of terms as used
'herein.
Enclosure (2) hereby establishes the basic QA program-for' Simon Lake for procurement, use, and maintenance of packages.
designed.to transport radioactive materials associated with radiography.
"QA* comprises all planned and systematic actions necessary to provide adequate confidence that a system or
- l LE
'compo'nent will perform satisfactorily in service.
The QA program
~
' contained herein is approved by the Navy Radiation Safety J
Committee.
l
~6.
Action:
The Radiation Safety Officer (RSO), under the supervision of the Repair Officer, shall implement, execute and maintain 1this QA program as outlined in enclosures (2).. (3), and-
_(4).
The Radiation Safety Officer shall ensure that
, transportation and receiving activities meet the requirements'of 10CFR 71.101.
(This requirement is satisfied'by obtaining
' certification from package suppliers, Certificates cf compliance
.NRC Form 618 and materials license NRC Form 374.)
This I
~'

Definitions of Terms 1.
Carrier:
-A person employed in the transportation of packages or property by land or water asLa common, contract, or private
. carrier, or by civil aircraft.
- 2.
- Containment System:
The component of the packaging intended to retainLthe radioactive material during transport.
3.
Conveyance:
Any vehicle, aircraft, vessel, or freight container,.or hold, or defined deck area of an inland waterway
.l craft or seagoing vessel.
4... Package:
The packaging together with its radioactive
-l contents as presented for transport.
S.
Type B Package:
A type B package together with its radioactive contents.
On approval, a type B package design is designated by NRC as B(U) unless the package has a maximum normal-operating pressure of more than 100 lb/sq in gauge or a pressure rel-lef device which-would allow the release of radioactive material to~the environment under tests specified in 71 73 (hypothetical accident conditions), in which' case it will I
-l receive a designation B(M).
B(U) refers to the need-for unilateral approval of. international shipments; B (M) 're f ers to
.the need for multilateral approval.
6.
Packaging:
The assembly of components necessary to ensure compliance with the packaging requirements of Part 71.
It may consist of one or more receptacles, absorbent materials, spacing j
ctructures, thermal insulation, radiation shielding and devices forLcooling or absorbing mechanical shocks.
The vehicle tie down j
systemoand aux 111-iary equipment may be designated as part of the j
packaging.
1 7.
-Special f orm radioactive material:
Radioactive material j
which satisfies the following conditions:
j (a) It is either single solid piece or is contained in a sealed capsule that can be opened only by destroying the capsule.
(b) The piece or capsule has at least one dimension not less than 5 millimeters (0.1971n); and 3
(c) It satisfies the test requirements of 71.75.
8.
Specific Activity:
The radioactivity of the radionuclide per
-unit mass of that nuclide.
The specific activity of a material in which the radionuclide is essentially uniformly distributed is the radioactivity per unit mass of the material.

TransportJIndex:
The dimensionless number-(rounded up to the first. decimal place) placed on the' label.of a package to
-designate the. degree of control to be exercised by the carrier during transportation. =The transport'.index is determine as
. f o l l ows : -
h (a)1 The number expressing the maximum radiation' level in millirem per. hour at one meter from the external surface of the.

aggregate radioactivity of which does not exceed A2, for special
);
form radioactive material'or As for normal form radioactive-material,~where A2, and An are given in Appendix A of part.71 or may be determined'by' procedures described in Appendix A of Part 71.
11.
Type B quantity:
A quantity of radioactivity material greater-than a type A quantity.
