All calibratior.s are directly _ traceable to NIST. The U.S. Army Primary Nucleonics Lab is responsible for transfering traceability from NIST to the U.S. Army users of radioactive material and radiation detection instrumentation. Sources are calibrated to a least a 5 percent accuracy on a biannial basis, and instrumention to at least 20 percent accuracy at intervals not to exceed 1 year. 8. Radiation safety program: There is a two_ tier radiation safety program at the USATA. TAB D describes the program.in detail. In general, the program is mannged at the USATA-level by the USATA radiation control officer (RCO) staff. The. RCO provides the technical Health Physics support to the local RPO. Theilocal_RPO is required to develop a radiation. safety program to ensure compliance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 19 and 10'CFR-Part 20. The USATA RCO revi'cws the local procedures and approves _them. The local RPO must also submit a quarterly radiation safety summary which includes data on personnel dosimetry, radiation surveys, and minutes of the local quarterly radiation' control committee (RCC) to the RCO. These reports are reviewed quarterly by the RCO and USATA management. An annual radiation program revick is held annually. eh $NM Aprikathw AprJ 199] G.

LRN-4 TAB D RADIATION SAFETY PROGRAM pnecification of_ Radiation Safet.y_Epsnonsibilities and Duties: USATA Regulation 335-7 (USATA Reg 385-7), Radiation Safety Program for Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation (annex 1) provides policy, responsibilities, and safety requirements for USATA activities using radioactive material. Each USATA activity using NRC licensed radioactive material must have an approved radiation safety program and a qualified radiation protection officers as described in USATA Reg 385-7. As a minimum, the radiation safety program will contain procedures to ensure adequate operating facilities, radiation safety equipment, qualified personnel, and reporting of radiation incidents / accidents. The USATA RCO will approve the program prior to the activity obtaining the sources. The USATA conducts quality assurance inspections on each activity performing calibration and repair. This is an indepth inspection which occurs approximately every 18 months, and looks at overy aspect of the radiation safety program. If any area inspected contains a failing deficiency, that activity must correct the deficiency prior to resuming operations. Additionally, the USATA RCO staff visits each activity periodically to verify NRC license compliance. Personnel Monitorina: All personnel working with the PuBe neutron sources will wear the U.S. Army TLD. The U.S. Army TLD program is managed by the U.S. Army Ionizing Radiation Dosimetry Center in Lexington, KY. This program is NAVLAP certified. The TLDs worn are capable of monitoring beta, gamma, and neutron exposure. The primary badge is the whole body: badge; however, wrist badges are worn whenever the RPO considers thereLto be an-extremity exposure probable. with some activities exchanging TLDs monthly.The TLDs are exchanged at least quarte associated with this license. There is no bioassay program Radiation Survey Procran: Each USATA activity possessing SNM-under this license is required to have a approved radiation survey procedures as par.t.. of.their radiation safety program. This program will include the frequency-of the survey (monthly), the areas to be evaluated, and the means of. ~ evaluation. contamination is not available,If a laboratory scaler capable of detecting 20 dpm of alph Redstone Arsenal, or Lexington, KY.the wipes will be evaluated either at Waste Dinnopal: disposal program. See TAB F for details on the-USATA radioactive waste Record MaDanementi Each activity will maintain rccords pertinent to their activity for at least 2 years. Specific records such as-facility records and contamination incidents are maintained for the life of the facility. SNM Applicathm, Artil 1992 W _f, n% ,mn.- --+,.-m,,,. y

r .LRti-4 i -4 Dosimetry records are maintained at the facility, and at the central Army repository for at least 75 years. Records are transferred to the central Army archives for longterm storage. Material Control Provisions: Each activity is required to have as part of their radiation safety program, procedures to control the procurement, storage, and transfer of radioactive materials. In addition, any USATA activity ordering iadicactive material under the authority of this license must have written upproval from the USATA RCO office. The RCO office must also be notified prior'to transfering any radioactive material authorized under this license, and if contamination in excess of 220 DPM por square centimeter for external package swipes is detected. Source Leak Testing Provin12nal Unsealed alpha sources will be leak tested quarterly, and the sealed sources semiannually. The swipes will be evaluated locally to ensure gross contamination is not present then-forwarded to either Redstone Arsenal or Lexington, KY for evaluation. The - RCO office will oversee the leaktest program, and will mail out the swipes and a copy of leak test procedures for each activity having radioactive material under this license. -TAB E describes the USATA. leak test-program.. General Safety Instructionst USATA Reg 385-7 provides general safety instructions to USATA activities using radioactive material.

Laser Personnel Categories. (1) Incidental Personnel. Incidental personnel are those individuals whose work makes it possible (but unlikely) that they will be exposed to laser. energy sufficient _to-damage-the eyes. Incidental 51ersonnel would include custodial, military personnel on maneuvers, clerical, and supervisory personnel not working directly with laser devices. (2) Laser Personnel. Laser personnel are those who work routinely in laser environments. These individuals are ordinarily protected by engineering controls or administrative procedures,.or-both, d. Medical Surveillance Program. (1) Incidental personnel will have an eye examination for visual acuity prior to participation in laser work. 22 w

USATA Iteg 385-7 s DEC 1991 (2) Laser personnel will have a baseline eye examination prior to participation in laser work. The scope of the examination will be determined by the local medical authority but will include, as a minimum, an ocular history and visual aculty. (.' ) The frequency of examinations will be determined by the local medical authority, p. Laser Operations. (1) Each organizational element having laser operations / devices will maintain a current laser inventory within their area. For material testing or maintenance operations in which a large number of identical lasers are subjected to the same repetitive procedures (such as the adjustment 'of laser rangefinder alignment of tactical weapon systems), the inventory list may reference the operation rather than each laser device. The inventory will contain the information listed in paragraph Sb(3) of this regulation. Copies of these inventories will be provided to the USATA RCO who will use them to establish a consolidated inventory. (2) Standing operating procedures will govern the operation and maintenance of lasers. The SOP will address, in addition to safety precautions to avoid injury by laser light, any associated hazards such as chemical, electrical, cryogenic,

fire, noise, and explosion. _The SOP will contain.first aid instructions regarding injuries which could result from these hazards.

First aid procedures will be developed in coordination with the local medical authority. First aid should not be attempted for damage produced by laser energy to human eye tissue. (3) Personnel assigned to worP with Class 3b or Class 4 lasers will wear clothing which is free of highly reflective

buttons, badges, emblems, or similar adornments.

Rings, metal spectacle frames, and watches will not be worn if the possibility exists that they will inadvertently reflect the laser beam. (4) Personnel working with potentially hazardous levels of laser radiation will be furnished suitable laser goggles for the specific wavelength and optical density for the laser energy involved. l 23

m USATA: Reg 385-7. l ~JEr 1991 (5) Prior to using laser safety goggles, examine the goggles - for visible defects. Any cracks, holes, or damage would indicate defects. Defective goggles will be discarded. If the goggles _are designed to serve as impact resistant. safety spectacles, replacement filter lenses should meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z87.1. (6) Prior to working with lasers for the first time, all employees will receive full instructions on the proper use of the equipment and on the hazards associated with the - equipment and the laser beam. A roster of authorized personnel for Class 2, 3, and 4 lasers will be maintained with each laser. (7) Electrical equipment operating at potentials in excess of the range of 10,000 to 15,000 volts may produce x-rays. The LRPO will be requested to determine if x-rays are produced. Personnel dosimeters will be worn in accordance with AR 40-14, if required. (8) An activatea laser will not be left unattended except when required by a test and when precautions have been provided-to prevent exposure to personnel. (9) Personnel working with Class 3b and Class 4 lasers will work with or under the direct visual observation of another person at all times while actively working with the laser. The two-man safety rule is indicated because these lasers present hazards (electrical, chemical, and explosive) which could cause unconsciousness. (10) Additional practices and procedures _for maintenance ~ operations are as follbws: (a) Maintenance personnel should adhere strictly to the precautions outlined in TB 385-4. (b) Only specially trained maintenance _ personnel will be permitted to work on laser systems. (c) No maintenance should be performed on laser-systems until the power is of f and the residual charge in aty power supply capacitor _ has been " bled-off." When maintenance must be performed on a " live" laser system, the laser output must. be ~ blocked or enclosed. l. 24 ~ I-e w w 4 m

injury, the LRPO will immediately notify the USATA RCO.

The USATA RCO will report the incident to the appropriate Army authorities. f. Laser Pacilities. (1) Questions concerning facility design should be referred to USATA RCO. Drawings for new facilities and/or facility modification should be forwarded to USATA RCO at least 60 days prior to construction for safety evaluation and approval. (2) All windows in a Class 4 laser facility should be covered to prevent passage of a hazardous beam into an uncontrolled area and to reduce reflective surfaces. (3) Class 4 lasers whose beams are not totally enclosed should be operated in areas free from polished and reflective surfaces. Walls and ceilings will be finished with diffuse, nongloss material. (4) Safety interlocks will be provided at the entrances of Class 4 laser facilities to deny access to unauthorized personnel while the laser power supply is energized and the laser is capable of firing. A warning light with explanatory sign will be conspicuously placed on the outside wall of a closed room to alert personnel that the laser is in operation. (5) Mechanical / electrical blocks or physical barriers will be installed to prevent directing the beam of a Class 3b or Class 4 laser at an, angle that could endanger personnel. (6) The beam of a Class 3b or class 4 laser will be terminated by a material which is not highly reflective and which is fire resistant. The composition and thickness of the material will be determined for each laser prior to initial operation to assure that the target will not be penetrated. Asbestos will not be used to terminate the beam. ~ (7) Adequate ventilation will be provided-for laser operations which can produce accumulations of toxic or flammable-gases or infectious

fumes, or

which, in the event of an accidental discharge of coolant from e cryogenic system, can produce an oxygen deficiency.

Laser System Development. (1) Safety and medical personnel will be included in the tactical laser system development. Consideration of hazard controls for operational, maintenance, and training with laser systems should. influence the selection of system performance-parameters. (2) An ef fective system safety program ' stressing early hazard identification will be utilized to eliminate hazards, or if hazards cannot be eliminated, to reduce the hazard to an acceptable level. The priorities of actions to be taken to resolve identified hazards are as follows: (a) Use the lowest output energy or power which will meet the operational capability. Select a frequency which will ensure an eye safe operating capability. (b) When laser hazards cannot be eliminated or reduced through design selection, they will be reduced to an acceptable level through the use of fixed, automatic, or other protective safety design features or devices _ such as ' interlocks and filters. ~ (c) When neither the design nor safety devices -can effectively eliminate or reduce the laser hazard, devices - that-can detect the hazardous condition and-generate a warning signal to alert personnel will be used. (d) When hazardous conditions cannot be eliminated or ' ' 1 reduced through design changes or safety and warning devices, procedures and training will be used to reduce the hazard. (3) Safety input to draft requirements documents will address the following considerations: ~ 28

t USATA Iteg 385-7 i LE: M1 (a) Lasers operating within a range that could fall into more than one hazard classification will be designed to fzrll into the lower classification. (b) Projected safety and health requirements will be specified to assure that the user and the trainer are aware of the procedural safety measures likely to be required. (c) Develop a training device, such as a filter, or include a training mode for all laser devices that have an excessive nominal ocular hazard distance (NOHD) (see AR 385-63). An eye safe training capability will be considered. (4) Laser systems, except for exempt laser systems, will be designed in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Standards. Exempt laser systems will be designed to meet as many of the Federal Standard requirements as possible. For those specific instances in which exempt laser systems cannot meet the Federal Standard, guidance in MIL-STD-1425 will be utilized. (5) Electrical safety must be ccasidered in the design of laser systems. (a) All high-voltage equipment and components will-be shielded to protect personnel from electrical shock. The main power ON/OFF -switch will cut off all power to the complete system. (b) Equipment will be grounded IAW AMCR 385-100 and applicable provisions.of the National Electrical Code. (c) -Fuses, circuit breakers, or other protective devicea will be used to provide protection to personnel and property from damage by fire or explosion because of current overload. (d) When potentials in the range of 10,000 volts exist, 1 x-rays may be produced. If it is determined that x-rays are ~ being

produced, appropriate shielding should be designed to preclude the need for personnel monitoring, warning signs, or labels.

(e) The design of laser systems will be in accordance~ with applicable provisions of MIL-STD-454. w 29

LB5100 ALPilA/BITTA COUNTING SYSTEM SOP 1. PURPOSE. This annex doccribes the LB5100 automatic alpha /bota counting system and contains detailed operating instructions. 2. DESCRIPTION. The counting system consists of a stand-alono counting system with a 50 sample capacity. It is capable of counting alpha, bota, and gamma emitters. The brains of the system is the dodicated-IBM PC. The IBM PC controls the operation of the system, and all input is ontored through the keyboard. The system uses P-10 counting. gas for alpha /bota operation. More detailed information is available in the instruction manuals provided by Tonnoloc, and should be referred to whenover necessary. 3. START UP PROCEDURES. The first step is to power up both the IBM PC and the LD5100. a. Turn on the PC and monitor using the switches on the computer and monitor. Turn the key switch on the LB5100 control panol to the " program" position. b. Select the desired display on the control panol by prossing tho-appropriato section button on the display control section. Usually section A is selected as alpha cpm, section B is selected as bota cpm, section C is solocted as "C" (gamma) cpm, and section D is selected as timo remaining. c. Check the gas flow meter and high voltage readings to'onsure that the gas flow is betwoon 0.1 to 0.15 cfm and the voltage is ~ approximately 1500 volto for the alpha /bota detector and 750 volts for the NAI. d. The system is now ready for operation. It is at the executivo lovel. Depending on the desired operation, go to the section of.this annex _ s that gives instructions for the operation you dosire to-perform. Should aLi? 4 complete memory loss occur, the system may-have to be completely restarted.1 j Soo the section on sotting system defaults for a comp 1'oto restart, or to reset any of the operational paramotors. 4. SETTING SYSTEM DEFAULTS. a. Complete restart. Should a catastrophic memory loss occur, the., i system will have to bo initialized. Turn the key switch of the LD5100 to i the off position. Iloid down the resot switch (lower lef t hand corner of- ~ control panol) and turn the switch to the-program position. A message should be displayed on the monitor telling you Y e g i y, ~.,, p,.. v..g.,.%..-.-~~._,3,__. .p,,,. _e,- -.,,.w...m. ,-.m-f-s... ,w.w.,--w,-..,y+, ., ~, >.. -.,.. - _ _ _. _ m m

..._ - - ~ ~ - -.___ - - -. ~. that the high voltage noods to be resot. Follow ta. procedures described below to roset the high voltage. The next step is to load the operating paramotors back to the system. Normally this will be the last group paramotorn saved. This is one reason it is important to save the control parameters monthly. Follow the procedures described below to roset tho group paramotors. b. High voltage renot. Hako sure you are in the executivo level. Depressing the return should prompt the system to respond with a "what". Press "V". Then ontor "810" for the alpha voltago and "1500" for the bota voltage. Enter a "1" for the alpha correction factor, c. Group paran, ors. The group paramotors contain the instructions. for obtaining, manipulating, and displaying the data. The roset.for group paramotors merely loads a previously used not of paramotors into the system memory. Enter the DOS modo by pressing "D" then return. Then load the desired group (usually the last file with a ".IDN" extension). The directory can be viewed by prossing "DIR" when in DOS modo. Enter "LDF. xxxx.IDH" (xxxx will be the desired file name) and press return. The group i paramotors will then be loaded, and can be viewod by returning to the executive level. s 5. DETERMINE BACKGROUND / EFFICIENCY. a. The background and officiency are normally obtained at the beginning of each month. They are based on an average of the previous months and subject to a statistical evaluation. This is usually the first operation performed on the system. b. Turn system on and place the group B planchet holder in the first slot. Place the survey disk in the disk driva of the system. Select group B from the executivo levol by prossing "G" then "B" (make sure the caps lock button on the keyboard has boon engaged.) The only chango you nood to make should be line'"18. FILENAME TO SAVE.UNDER =". Enter "xxxBKG.DAT" where xxx is the abbreviation for the current month. The Group B screen should look like figuro F-2. c. If'the information is correct, exit the group scroon by prossing. the return key until a "what" appears on the scroon. Select the samplo~tb * ; be counted (usually no. 1) by prossing "S" then "1". Start the operation-by prossing "B" then entering a "N" in response to tho. question of whether or not to use the first sample for the background, and a "Y" in response to the question of whether or not to print chi-squarc.- Press "F1".to turn the .printor function key on. 'The system should then advance samplo number 1. and insert it in the counter, and print the header-information. (Note: The printer-should be turned on prior to beginning the sample count. d. Efficiency. data. With_the system in-the executivo-level, acccas group A by. pressing "G" then "A". Enter the background-numbers obtained above and change the file name to "xxxEFF.DAT" whero xxx is the abbreviation for the current month. ~ L WM Apriknm, ApW 1W I . L. ,,.,_._ _y ...., _ ~,, _,,, _,,. _ -,,,,

c. If the information is correct, exit the group scroon by pressing the return key until "what" appears on the scroon. Load the factors for the calibration sourcos by entering the DOS utility then typing "LDF EFF. CON" and pressing return. Return to the executivo lovel by pressing the return key until the "what" prompt appears on the screen. f. Place the group A planchot holder in the first slot then place the sources in the planchot holders in the following order: alpha, bota, then gamma. Solect the samplos to be counted by prossing the "S" then entering 1-3 in response to the prompt. Start the system by prossing the "B" then answering "N" and "Y" ,in order, in response to the prompts. Press the "F1" key to send the information to the printer. g. The final stop is.to enter the background officiency data in cach of the remaining groups (c - J). If time is a factor, or some of the groups are not expected to be used this month, then only the necessary groups have to be changed. In-any case', the group paramotors must be saved to creato room on the disk for lator uso. With the system in the DOS level entor "CRFxxx.IDN" then "SVF xxx.IDN" with xxx the curront month abbreviation. Tho-group-paramotors are now saved for futuro use. Exit to the executive level. 6. EXAMPLES OF ROUTINE AND SPECIAL SURVEYS a. To facilitato operations, most of the groups have specific-uses. This enables the user to loavo the header information intact-and not have to rotypo it ovary month. The following is an example of the type of groups that may be used: Group A.............. Efficiency Group B........'...... Background Group C.............. Air Samples Group D.............. Building _Survoys Group E.............. Leak Test Analysis 1 Group F.............. Calibrators b. .The use of groups A and a have boon covered in the previous - section. Refer to those paragraphs for specific instructions. Placement of the planchet holder for each group.is assumed and will-not be. repeated in each section. $NM Applkalku, Aprd lW2 - ~nr- ,m,c,- N m.-,wr- ,,ee-y e-m-* 4 y v ec - +- rv- '4--+ -- * ^~

c. Group D - Building Surveys. Group D is used for building surveys. The header inforraation should not have to be changed if the order in 9hich the smears are loaded remains the same. If in doubt, look at the header by calling group D onto the screen. Use the control panel of the LBS100 to advance the planchet holders and load them according to the order listed in the header, or remove them and load them by hand. Do not change the order of the header. Once the first fifty smears are loaded, begin counting as follows: 1. With the system at the DOS level, load the K factors for the survey by entering "LDP SURV. CON." This will cause the system to print a cample number, corresponding to the lab in which the survey was taken, on each data line. This number will agree with the information in the header line. 2. Select the sample numbers to be counted by pressing "S" then entering the appropriato numbers (eg. 1-50). Begin the count by pressing "B", then responding to the prompts with'an "N" and a "N." Press "F1" to activate the printer. Now turn the key to the protect position. This will prevent the system from accidental interference. De sure to turn it back to program when the count is completed. 3. Once the first fifty samples have been counted, finish counting the remaining smears. Scan the printout to determine if any count is over the lower limit of detection (LLD). If any count is above the LLD, recount that smear by pressing "S" and entering the appropriate sample numbers (eg.. 3-6,17,44). Begin the count as in paragraph Gc2 above, d. Groups G,H,I,J - Miscellaneous. These groups are reserved for special surveys. When used, the group ID should contain a brief description of the, survey, and the group code should contain the survey number. If u' sed, the group parameters should be saved as described in paragraph 4c. 7. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE. The only maintenance required on the system besides routine cleaning is the replacement of P-10 counting gas. An annual contract is awarded at the end of each fiscal year. 2. The PRC should be initiated sometime in July to ensure adequate processing time. The contract is set up on an as needed basis with six scheduled deliveries. The gas is ordered whenever it drops below 500 lbs. 7. SPECIAL FEATURES. There are many features which allow the user to customize data formats and add lines of' text. Rather than include them in this SOP, the user is referred to the reference manuals. $NM Appikasm, April 1992
