SPECIFICATION OF ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED The special nuclear material is requested for educational purposes. A natural uranium graphite exponentiel subcritical assembly will be acti-voted by means of five one-curie Plutonium / Beryllium sources. The ossembly will be used to conduct experiments pertaining to reactor studies and neutron behovfor. The graphite subcritical reactor config-uration is depicted in Figure 1.
l Experiments to be conducted include dif fusion length and fermi ege of l
grophite, and flux measurement and buckling determination using Indium foils. The neutron sources will also be used to irrodlote foils for use in half-Ilfe determination experiments. These five sources will be used and stored in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory in the Mechanical Engi-neering Laboratory Building "66 located of f Old Juniper Road.
A one Curie Pu-Be neutron source is used in the Physics Department to calibrote neutron monitors in the nuclear structure laboratory, to check the performance of neutron detectors used in nuclear physics experi-ments, and in the advanced undergraduate and graduate laboratories in experiments such as neutron activation of isotopes. The source is con-toined in a large paraffin drum located in the nuclear structure laboro-tory in the Physics Department section of Nieuwland Science Hall, Building '52. The drum is in a roped-of f creo marked with radiation signs so that personnel do not normally come within a distence of about two meters from the center of the drum. The radiation level et the surf ace of the drum is less than 0.5 mr/hr and 2 meters awog from the center of the drum the level is less than 0.3 mr/hr.
Only trained personnel under the direct supervision of a Responsible in-vestigator will handle o Pu-Be sealed source. Presently, Dr. John Lucey, Associate Professor, Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department, and Chairman of the Radiation Control Committee,is a Responsible in-vestigator and is responsible for the safe use of the five Pu-Be sources located in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory.

r-5.4 Radiation Detection Instruments bsed The instrument used for leek test measurements is a windowless, gas flow proportional counter composed of the following equipment:
Packard Instrument Proportional Gas Chamber Wm. B. Johnson Scaler - Model LS-4 The instrument will be calibrated prior to each leek test measurement by the Radiation Safety Officer. A Thorium-230 source ms.4ufactured by Eberline Instru-ment Corporation will be used to calibrate the counting system. See Reoort of Calibration (Page21) for addi-tional source information.
The equipment used for surveying beto-gamma radio-tion and neutron radiation in the Nuclear Engineering Laboratory will be:
Wm. B. Johnson GSM Survey Meter with o
- Wm. B. Johnson GP-200 - end-window geiger probe
- Wm. B. Johnson FNSP - 2A Fast neutron probe The range of the meter is O to 20 mR/hr.
In the Physics Department Nuclear Structure Laboratory, the instrument used for surveying neutron radiation will be: Texas Nuclear - Model 9146. The range of the instru-ment is 0 to 1000 mR/hr.
Calibration Procedures - The survey meter with the G.M. Probe will be calibrated annually by the Environmental Health and Safety Department using a J. L. Shepherd & Associ-otes Series 28 Calibrator. The calibrator is o model number 28-5, serial number 10014, which contains 100 millicuries of Cesium 137. The source activity is traceable within 5% occuracy to the U. S. Bureau of Standards Calibrations.
17 w_
r.
l The calibration certificate of radiation levels at spect-fic distances provided by the manufacturer will be used to determine exposure rates for specific calibra-tion points. The calibration will include two points on each scale with the two points separated by at least -
50% of the scale.
If the exposure rate measured by the instrument differs by greater than 10% from the true exposure rate, then the survey meter will be adjusted. If the instrument cannot be adjusted and the reading falls within i 20%
of the true exposure rate, then a correction factor cali-bration chart or graph will be attached to the Instrument.
The survey meters with neutron probes will be call-brated annually by the Environmental Health and Safety Department using the Physics Department's Plutonium /
Beryllium source. The approximate reading of the source is 2.0 mR/hr at one meter. If the exposure rate measured by the instrument differes by greater than 10% from the true exposure rate, then the meter will be adjusted. If the instrument cannot be adjusted and the reading falls within 1 20% of the true exposure rate, then a correction factor calibration chart or graph will be attached to the instrument.
All survey meters will be calibrated following repair of the Instrument.

U REPORT OF CAllBRATION Electroplated Alpha Source Se rial No. I1083 Description of Souren:
Principal radionuclide Tho rium - 230 Electroplated on polished Stainless s teel disc, approximately 0.79 mm thick.
(type of metal)
Diameter, I 91 cm active, 2.23 cm total.
Radioactive material permanently fixed to the disc by heat treatment, without any covering over the active surface.
Calibration Date:
Afav 30 1979 Measurement Method:
The 2r alpha emission rate was measured using an internal gas flow proportional chamber. Abso-iate counting of alpha particles emitted in the hemisphere above the active surface was verified by counting above, below, and at the operating voltage. Traceability to NBS has been demonstrated, the most recent intercomparison with NBS being June and July 1974 when the EIC-NBS agree-V ment was within 0.2%.
Measurement Result:
The total number of alpha particles emitted from the surface of the disc per minute on the above date was 4,500 90 The total disintegration rate, assuming 1.5% backscatter of alpha particles from the surface of the disc, was 8,870 180 (0.0039 uCi)
The uncertainty of the measurement is 2%, which is the sum of random counting error at the 99%
confidence level and the estimated upper limit of conceivable systematic error in this measurement.

w Radiation Emergency Procedures A.
Definition and purpose.
An emergency is uly incident resulting from the use of radioactive substances that presents or thmatens to present an internal or extemal radiation hazard to personnel. The fbndanental purposes of a radiation safety program am:
1.
To prevent internal contamination which can msult from ingestion, absorption, entry through wounds, or inhalation of radioactive material.
-2.
To reduce personnel exposure to external radiation as low as reasonably achievable.
3.
'Ib guard against damage to property or injury to personnel frcan the use of radioactive materials.
In an emergency the primary concern must always be the protection of human life and health. 'Ibe secondary concern is the confine-rent of contamination to the local area of the accident, if possible, and the protection of personnel from radiation hazarxis.
B.
Procedures.
In the event of an emergency or suspected emergency, e.g., major spill, overexposure, etc., the Radiation Safety Officer and the Responsible investigator shall be notified inmediately without such action as to cause excessive scread of contamination.
See Table 10-1 for telephone numbers and a(ditional emergency information.
'Ihe user and Responsible Investigator shall be responsible for the decontamination procedures necessary and shall carry out these procedures under the direction of the Radiation Safety Officer or persons designated by him.
1.
Minor Spills-involving no significant radiation hazard to personnel:
- a. Notify all other persons in the area at once.
- b. Pemit only the minimum number of persons necessary to deal with the spill into the area.
- c. Confine the spill imnediately.
1.
Liquid spills - Don protective gloves.
- Drop absorbent paper on spill.
2.
Dry spills
- Don protective gloves
- Gently dampen area thoroughly and cover it with absorbent paper taking care not to spread the contamination.

Decontamination Procedums A. Brcsonnel Contamination - External External contamination of personnel can be hazardous in thme ways:
It may cause injury from local exposum of the skin.
It may penetrate the intact skin (especially in the pmsence of certain organic solvents).
It may eventually be transferred into the body by ingestion or
-v inhalation.
'Ihe danger of the loose activity being eventually carried into the body is by far the most critical hazard, so decontamination procedures are primarily concemed with loose contamination.
If the contamination is localized,it is often mom practical to mask off the affected area and cleanse with swabs befom risking the danger of spreading the -contaminant by general washing.
'Ibe skin may become sensitive following repeated application of detergents to the sam area; therefom, cam should be taken to avoid this practice.
In any case, one must avoid the use of organic solvents that may increase the probability of the radioactive materials penetrating thmugh the poms of the skin.
After each decontamination operation the treated ama should be dried with a fresh, non-contaminated towel or swab and monitom d.
All materials used in the decontamination process should be tm ated as contaminated anterial.
- 1. 'Ihe mconmended procedures for general washing of contaminated amas, especially hands, are as follows:
a.
Wash for not less than two minutes, nor mom than three minutes by the clock with a mild, pum soap in tepid water with a good lather, covering the entire affected area thorou@.ly.
Give special attention to areas between the fingers and around -
the fingernails. The outer edges of the hands are readily l
l 35 GONTROLNo. 7 9 0 4 7 L
r contaminated and often neglected in the washing. Do not use highly alkaline soaps or abrasives. Rinse thorou@ly and repeat, as monitoring indicates, until the desired degme of decontamination is achieved, but not to exceed thme or four times.
b.
If the above procedure is not sufficient to mmove the contamination, scrub the hands with a soft brush using a heavy lather and tepid water. 'Ihis scrubbing is primarily to agitate the cleansing agent, hence prolonged scrubbing without change of magent is of questionable value. For this reason at least three washes, including rinses, should be made within eight minutes of which at least six minutes should be applied to the brush-not sufficient to bend the bristles out of shape or to scratch or erode the skin. Rinse thoroughly and monitor.
c.
Apply lanolin or hand cmam to prevent chapping. In mre serious cases of hand contamination the following steps may be taken. This procedure should be used only if thorough soap and water scrubbing fails to remove the contamination, and then only under the supervision of the Radiation Safety Officer.
1.
Wash hands lightly in about 5 per cent solution of scdium hypochlorite.
2.
Rinse thoroughly in tepid water.
3.
Rinse hands lightly with a small amount of 3N hydrochloric acid.
4 Rinse hands thoroughly with tepid water.
5.
Apply hand lotion to prevent dryness and cracking of skin.
Further atterpts to mmove contamination should be made only under nedical supervision.
B.
Personnel Contamination - Wounds When the skin is lacerated by glassware, hypodemic needles, or other instrunents containing radioactive materials the wounded ama must be washed inrediately under a stream of cold water.
If the radioactive material is unusually toxi: a tourniquet should be applied to the injured extm mity tightly enough to occlude the veins without stopping the arterial pulse. After first aid reasures have been taker, whoever is in charge shall notify the Raciation Safety Officer and otherwise follow the energency procedures found in Section IV of these rules.
36 e
C.
Personnel Contamination - Internal Internal contamination is essentially a medical problem, similar in sone ways to the absorption of chemical toxins. Special corrective procedures should, therefore, be carried out only under medical advice and supervision.
. Ihe aims of the corrective procedures are:
1.
Try to eliminate as much of the internally introduced contaminant still remaining in the mouth, gastro-intestinal or respiratory tract as quickly as possible; try to prevent or reduce its uptake into the bloodstream and tissues.
2.
Try to prevent the fixation of the contaminant in the body or try to increase its excretion frcri the body.
For the first of these aims it is sometimes necessary that the contaminated person or another nonmedical person takes inmediate action; for instance, to promote the mechanical elimination of the contaminant by vcmiting or expectoration.
For the second of these aims more complicated chemical or physico-chemical methods are required. Hence, treatment is a medical tratter and should be undertaken as soon as possible, but only under medical supervision.
In all cases of internal contamination, the Radiation Safety Officer should be notified as soon as possible and the emergency procedures listed in Section IV followed.
D.
flon-Human Contamination The exact procedure for facility decontamination depends on the type of equipment and facility contaminated, the chemical and physical fom of the specific isotope involved, and the extent of the area contaminated. Adequate decontamination requires knowledgeable personnel and adequate equipment.
'Ihe traterial used in the decontamination procedure should be considered contaminated and disposed of as radioactive waste.
The possibility of disposal of contaminated objects should be considered.
It is sometimes more economical (in tems of time and risk to personnel) to dispose of a piece of equipment than to decontaminate it.
37 L
T Each researcher should insure that his personnel are familiar with the following:
1.
The technique of " concentrate and ccarine" shall be used to avoid the spread of the contamination.
2.
Decontamination should be carriec out as soon as possible.
3
'Ibe decontamination procedure should avoid large amounts of liquid. The working materials should be moist, but not so moist that they will flow.
4.
If an excess of liquid contadnant is present blotting should be the first step in the decontamination procedure.
5.
In proceeding with decontamination, the least caustic and least abrasive procedures should be tried first.
6.
Any pIncedure that produces dust or other air-borne contaminants should be avoided.
7 With short half-life radioisotopes decay is an acceptable method of decontanination, provided that during decay some provision is made for preventing the spread of contamination and exposure of personnel.
8.
Decontamination of movable items should be done in a hood.
9.
In general, glass may be cleaned with chromic acid.
10.
In general, decontamination of a rough surface will require the use of a brush (e.g., a small soft brush or toothbrush).
- 11. Masking tape should be used to pick up dry powder contaminants.
- 12. Aerosols and chemicals that would produce gases should be avoided.
- 13. Sometimes a non-radioactive carrier is useful.
- 14. Soft beta and alpha radiation emitters which cannot be renoved may be sealed in by painting with approval of the Radiation Safety Officer. This technique is normally limited to areas not subject to abrasion.
After each step of the decontamination procedure the contaminated item should be dried and monitored.
It should be remerrbered that moisture can reduce the actual level of the radiation considerably (in the case of alpha or beta emitters) and give a false impression that the contamination has been renoved.
Disposable plastic gloves should be worn throur,hout the decontamination procedure.
