)
I.
PURPOSE This Quality Assurance Program is established pursuant to Section 71.51 of 10 CFR Part 71, " Packaging of Radioactive Material for Transport, and Transportation of Radioactive Material Under Certain Conditions".
Section 2.3 of Lehigh's Radiation Safety Manual, " Transportation Procedures for Sealed Sources", is incorporated as an essential part of this QA Program.
II.
RESPONSIBILITY i
(A) Radiation Safety Officer, NDT Department - The Radiation Safety Officer is responsible for overall administration of the program, training and certification, document control, and auditing.
The Radiation Safety Officer shall assure that all radioactive material shipping packages used by Lehigh i
are designed and manufactured under a Quality Assurance Program for all
)
packages designed or fabricated af ter July 1, 1978. This requirement can be satisfied by receiving a certification to this effect from the manufacturer.
The Assistant Radiation Safety Officer shall assume the responsibility of the Radiation Safety Officer in his absence.
(B) Radiographers - NDT Dept. - The Radiographers are responsible for handling, storing, shipping, inspection, tests, operating status and recordkeeping.
(C) Final Responsibility - The final responsibility for compliance of the Quality Assurance Program with Section 71.51, of 10 CFR Part 71 rests with MMR Group, Inc.
III.
DOCUMENT CONTROL Certificates assuring that all radioactive material shipping packages are designed and manufactured under a Quality Assurance Program approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for all packages designed or fabricated after July 1, 1978 shall be obtained and kept on file by the Radiation Safety Officer.
All documents related to a specific shipping package will be reviewed and kept on file by the Radiation Safety Officer. All document changes will be reviewed and approved by the Radiation Safety Officer prior to their implementation in this Q.A. Program.
The Radiation Safety Officer shall J

IV.
HANDLING, STORAGE AND SHIPPING (A) The handling, storage and shipping of packages for certain special form radioactive material shall be accomplished by qualified radiography personnel, who have been instructed in handling, storage and shipping l
operations by the Radiation Safety Officer, in accordance with established safety procedures.
(B) Shipments of special form radioactive material shall be made only in containers acceptable per DOT Regulations 49 CFR Parts 173-179.
1 1.
Only shipping containers authorized by NRC License No. 07-01173-03 as issued to Lehigh Testing Laboratories, Inc. shall be used.
2.
The step-by-step instructions issued by the manufacturer of the container shall be followed in detail and in the sequence presented.
)
3.
The source shall be securely locked in the fully shielded position as l
confirmed by carefully performed and recorded radiation surveys.
4.
No package with radiation levels in excess of 200 milliroentgens per hour at the package surface, or 10 milliroentgens per hour at one meter, i
shall be released for shipment, as specified in DOT Regulations.
5.
Package labeling and accompanying shipping papers shall be properly completed.
l f
(C) Packages having Yellow III labels (those with dose rates exceeding 200 mR/hr at the surface, or exceeding 10 mR/hr at one meter from the surface) which contain special form radioactive material transported under the supervision of MMR Group personnel shall be transported in vehicles posted with four signs reading " Radioactive". These signs shall be affixed to the vehicle at the front, rear and both sides. The signs shall be black letters at least four inches high on a yellow background.
(Note that the Radiation Safety Manual, Section 2.3, currently prohibits shipments of packages requiring Yellow III labels by MMR Group, so this paragraph is not applicable unless MMR Croup's NRC license is amended to permit such shipments.)
1.
Packages shall be placed in the rear of the vehicle as far away from l
personnel as possible.
Packages shall be secured by tying and blocking to prevent shifting or movement causing damage to the vehicle or i
packages.
2.
The exterior surface and passenger compartment of the transporting vehicle shall be surveyed to insure that radiation levels do not exceed two milliroentgens per hour.
