AUG 191992 MEMORANDUM FOR:
Douglas M. Collins, Chief Nuclear Materials Safety and Safeguards Branch, RII FROM:
John E. Glenn, Chief Medical, Academic, and Commercial Use Safety Branch Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS
SUBJECT:
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE REQUEST FOR GUIDANCE ON EXEMPTION / MODIFICATION PER 10 CFR 34.20 TO INDUSTRIAL RADIOGRAPHY EQUIPMENT (GUIDE TUBE)
We have reviewed your Technical Assistance Request (TAR) concerning Fluor Daniel, Inc., application for a one-time-only modification of the source guide tubes for Amersham (Tech 0ps) cobalt-60 devices.
In your TAR, you' requested guidance on:
(1) Whether, the licensee requested exemption was acceptable, and (2) If it is acceptable, how should the request be granted since Fluor Daniel is a South Carolina licensee operating in NRC jurisdiction under reciprocity (10 CFR 150.20).
As we discussed during our telephone conversations on August 13, 1992, it was always our intention to grant exemptions to 10 CFR 34.20 for persons who have special requirements (See enclosed Part 34 statement of considerations).
After reviewing the information submitted b'y the licensee in their July 6, 1992, application, we have concluded that the proposed administrative and radiation safety controls are sufficient to meet the intent of our regulations and are acceptable.
In regards to your request for guidance on how to grant the exemption to Fluor Daniel (a general license.) Normally, we recommend that exemptions of this type be granted directly by license amendment.
However, since (1) Fluor Daniel is a South Carolina licensee working under reciprocity authorized by 10 CFR 150.20 and (2) the requested exemption is a one-time-only request for a limited time period, we have determined that the administrative procedure of granting a temporary waiver of compliance to 10 CFR 34.20(b) is appropriate for this case.
