SNM-223 and to the discussions of ourfindings held by Mr. Ladun with Dr. S.
Becker at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was limited to a review of those activities conducted under your license relating to plutonium / beryllium (PuBe) sealed sources. The Department of Energy has identified PuBe sources with end caps not welded in place and has recommended appropriate nondestructive examination of the outer end cap welds of all PuBe sources. The inspector visually examined the welds of your PuBe sources. No apparent defects were identified; however, the inspector also discussed the advantages of conducting additional nondestructive tests by qualified personnel and appropriate radiation safety precautions during such tests. A wipe sample was taken from each end cap weld area and was analyzed in our Regional Office Laboratory. This analysis identified no significant removable radioactive contamination, which is in agreement with your leak test results.
Within the scope of this inspection, no violations were observed.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the NRC's " Rules of Practice," Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter will be placed in the Public Document Room.
No reply to this letter is required. Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.
