NRC Form 313 Supplement

1. Application This is a request for an amendment of License No [Licensee insert licensee]

2. Address

[Licensee insert address]

3. Use Location

[Licensee insert use location]

4. Contact Information

[Licensee insert contact information]

5. Radioactive Material

a. Radionuclide: Tin-117m

b. Chemical/Physical Form: Colloidal suspension

c. Maximum Amount: 100 mCi [Licensee modify maximum activity to suit projected workload]

6. Purposes for which radioactive material will be used Treatment of osteoarthritis in canine elbows with Synovetin OA'. A maximum of 3 mCi per elbow (6 mCi per dog) will be used. No more than one treatment per household may be performed in a one year period.

7. Individuals Responsible for Radiation Safety Program and their training and experience

[Licensee insert name of RSO and user(s) authorized for therapeutic use on current license.]

8. Training All personnel involved with the administration of Synovetin OA will have initial and annual refresher training including radiation safety and relevant emergency procedures. Employees preparing the administration will be users authorized on the license or appropriately trained staff members.

Training will include the safe handling of radioactive materials in accordance with NUREG 1556 Volume 7 Appendix F. Initial training will specifically address the radiological characteristics of Sn-117m, the safe use of Synovetin OA, the patient/owner screening process

and criteria, the corresponding patient release instructions, and the reporting requirements and potential consequences if public is exceeded.

An outline of the Synovetin OA-specific training to be provided is contained in Attachment A.

9. Facilities and Equipment

• Synovetin OA is provided in patient-specific doses based on the manufacturer's weight-based protocols. The current manufacturer package insert and SDS are provided in Attachment B. The treatment will be provided on an outpatient basis although provisions will be in place to kennel dogs if necessary.

• Release exposure rates will be measured with either a calibrated pressurized ionization chamber (Ludlum 9DP or equivalent) or a calibrated Geiger-Mueller (GM) counter with energy flattening filter (Ludlum Model 44-9 with Ludlum ambient dose equivalent filter, part # 2002-1050, attached or equivalent).

• Sn-117m has a similar energy to that of Tc-99m with the addition of conversion and Auger electrons. A traditional pancake GM tube (Ludlum 44-9 or similar) will have a minimum detectable activity of <2000dpm/100cm2. This allows the facility to complete contamination analysis without the need of a liquid scintillation counter or gamma well multi-channel analyzer.

• Radioactive Materials are secured from unauthorized removal by keeping the storage area locked at all times. [Licensee describe area if not the same as currently used for other radioactive material.]

• Synovetin OA is designed to be injected at any location where the patient can be appropriately stabilized. [Licensee describe area(s) where Sn-117m will be used, including where dogs will be kenneled if necessary.]

• Surveys will be conducted and documented post administration if the chosen injection location is outside of the currently licensed controlled areas.

10. Radiation Safety Program

a. Facility and Staff Radiation Safety

• Our existing Radiation Safety Program and Radioactive Spill Procedures will be followed [Licensee reference procedure if needed]. Personnel involved in the administration will wear appropriate PPE. A radioactive spill kit will available in the event of a radioactive spill.

• The existing Area Survey Procedures will be followed [Licensee reference procedure if needed].

• The existing personnel monitoring program will be followed [Licensee reference procedure if needed].

• Patient excreta monitoring is not applicable. Synovetin OA stays in the injected joint at a published rate of greater than 99.1%.1

• Routine bioassay of personnel is not necessary as Synovetin OA is in an aqueous, non-volatile, colloidal solution.

• All injections will be performed by an authorized user or under the supervision of the authorized user. All personnel involved in these procedures will be appropriately trained by an authorized user and/or the radiation safety officer.

b. Public Radiation Safety

• Robust screening will be conducted to determine if the patient owner behavior pattern is suitable for the therapy. Release instructions will be provided to the owner during the screening interview to ensure the instructions can be met. Patient specific release instructions are again provided the day of the treatment and signed by the dog owner to ensure that radiation doses do not exceed federally established public dose limits.

• Dogs will be surveyed prior to release. Surveys will be taken at a distance of 1 meter from the closest treated elbow in the anterior and lateral directions at the height of the dogs elbow. A maximum exposure rate in excess of 0.45 mR/h at a distance of 1 m from the injection site will preclude the immediate release of the patient. Exposure rates will be measured with either a calibrated pressurized ionization chamber or calibrated Geiger-Mueller (GM) counter with energy flattening filter. In the case where the measured exposure rate is less than 0.45 mR/h, the animal will be released to the owner after instructions have been provided.

• The procedure for performing Synovetin OA injections is contained in Attachment C.

• Release of the animals on an outpatient basis will meet local and federal public dose limitations according to NUREG 1556 Volume 7 Appendix K and the appropriate State regulations. Extensive studies have been completed demonstrating compliance with the public dose restrictions with additional layers of conservatism. The technical basis for the release criteria is contained in Attachment D.

1 Lattimer J, et al, Intrarticular injection of Tin-117m radisynoviorthesis agent in normal canine elbows causes no adverse effects, Vet Radiol Ultrasound 2019; 60:567-574.

11. Waste Management Radioactive waste will be stored in the currently listed waste room inside appropriate containers. Existing procedures for Decay-In-Storage will be followed. Separate containers will be used for Sn-177m due to the different half-life.

The radioactive waste may be held to decay-in-storage for 10 half lives or until the contact exposure rates are indistinguishable from background radiation. Once the waste contact exposure rate is no longer distinguishable from background, the solid waste will follow the typical waste stream. Background exposure rate will be determined in a non-radiation area.

12. Fees Not applicable to license amendment.
