Dear Mr. Roy:

]

! ~ Based on the information submitted in your letter dated May 4,1993, with

enclosures thereto, we have made the changes to the enclosed registration certificate NR-476-S-131-S as you have requested .

I

!' We have broadened the principle use code of these models to code (S), Foil Source. We understand that the models, NER-004.and NER-004P, designate that the Nickel-63 is either a source or is electroplated onto components. This i activity can occur under principle use code (S). We have included examples of ,

uses of the sources under the " Conditions of Normal Use" section of the j registration for clarity. ,

! Please be advised that you must manufacture and distribute the product in j accordance with the statements and representations contained in your application, with enclosures thereto, and the information set out in your

! registration certificate._ As a general rule, you must request and obtain an j amendment to the certificate before you make changes or modifications to the

information submitted to obtain the certificate.

Please read over the registration certificate in its entirety and notify us

immediately of any errors or omissions.

You are obligated to notify us promptly in writing should you decide to no i longer manufacture or offer-service support for the product.

i i

If you have any questions, please contact me at (301) 504-3336 or Mr. Steven l

Baggett at (301) 504-2542.

SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Beta Ionization Source l l

l DESCRIPTION:

i The' sources consist of radioactive Ni-63 electro 1 css plated or i

electroplated onto components fabricated from the approved materials in the following table:

d Model Approved Base Materials

' NER-004 gold, platinum, nickel, copper, or monel (copper-nickel alloy)

[ NER-004P gold, platinum, nickel, copper,

' monel, stainless steel The HER-004 indicates a foil configuration of Du Pont design and l manufacture. The NER-004P allows plating onto components of j l

4 other manufacturer's design and manufacture. All sources must l

! mest the following constraints:

l i

maximum activity: 50 mci (1.85 GBq) minimum specific activity: 5 oci/mg (0.185 GBq/ag) radiopurity of Ni-63: > 99.9%.

! LABELINGL 1

The Model NER-004 foils are serialized by scribing or laser engraving on the non-radioactive side.

l The Model NER-004P pources are permanently marked on a non-i radioactive surface of the component with the radiation symbol,

' serial number and model number (i.e. "NER-004p"). If space permits, the sources will also be labeled with the isotope, activity and the words " Caution, Radioactive Material."

PROTOTYPE TESTING

The manufacturnr tested prototype Models NER-004 and NER-004P sealed sources to the ANSI N542-1977 77C32211 requirements. In addition, the prototypes were subjected to 752*F (400*C) in air i for 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Wipes of the inactive side of the sources after the tests revealed no removable contamination above 0.005 microcurie (185 Sq).

l EXTERNAL RADIATION LEVELS: l The manufacturer reports maximum external radiation levels as follows:

~~

. Model~ Dose Rate (deep / shallow) mrem /hr/ mci _mSv/hr/GBq

NER-004 on contact with active side 0.lb/12.3 0.04/3.32 j inactive side 1.1 /1.1 0. 3 0 / 0. 3 0 ___,

DESCRIPTION:

The Models G1223A and G1224A electron capture detector (ECD) assemblies are similar to the previously approved Models 19233 and 19235. The Model G1222A will be distributed to persons generally licensed and the Model G1224A will be distributed to persons specifically licensed. The two detectors are the same ,

except that the detector label plate is different for general l licenses versus specific licenses. The Models G1223A and G1224A ECDs are for use on the Hewlett-Packard Model 5890 Series gas chromatographs.

The specific differences of the Models G1223A and G1224A relative to the Models 19223 and 19235 are as follows:

1. The detector heat sink is made of aluminum rather than l stainless steel. The new heat sink allows Hewlett-Packard to down rate their heater from 70 watts to 60 watts. This also limits the maximum temperature of the detector. In the event of a catastrophic failure mode, the 5890 gas chromatograph instrument's main processor would detect a shorted sensor fault, and turn off all heaters to devices on the gas chromatograph.
2. A 17-4 PH stainless steel will be used rather than 303 stainless steel. The supplier of the lower plated bl6ck, Amersham Corporati:n, has indicated that the plating quality of Ni-63 is better with 17-4 PH stainless steel. A 17-4 PH stainless steel lower block is currently being used on Models 19303 and 19312 ECD's. The inside of the lower block will be plated with non-radioactive nickel prior to plating of the Ni-63 radionuclide.
3. A metal seal will be used between the lower block (cathode) and the upper block (anode) that is currently used on other ECDs being distributed (for example, Models 78713A, 19282 and 18803-60520). This particular seal uses a silver crushable O-ring. The same tamper proof screws now used on l

all of Hewlett-Packard's distributed ECDs will be used.

4. The upper anode block design has been redesigned. The non-plated part has reduced mass, a purged anode which has been raised (withdrawn) from the region of the nickel-63 plating within the lower block (cathode). The purged anode remains cleaner and is retained with a special nut and seal  ;

removable only with the manufacturer's anode wrench.

5. The outer cover and insulation are different than the 19233 and 19235 merely to accommodate the new gas chromatograph.

The detector label plates will have the same information as our current detectorr and will remain permanently attached to a tamper proof sc.ew.

The Models G1533A and G1536A ECD assemblies are same as the Models G1223A and G1224A with the exception of modifications to the mounting hardware and the outer cover and insulation for use with a different gas chromatograph. The Model G1533A will be distributed to persons generally licensed and the Model G1536A will be distributed to persons specifically licensed. The two detectors are the same except that the detector label plate is different for general licenses versus specific licenses. The Models G1533A and G1536A ECDs are for use on the Hewlett-Packard Model 6890 gas chromatographs.

The Models G2310A and G2330A are identical to the Models G1533A and G1223A respectively, except that the G2310A and G2330A will only contain up to 5 mci of Ni-63. The sources will be plated in the same manner as those in the Models G1533A and G1223A.

All six ECDs are approximately 4" (10 cm) long and 1-1/8" j (2.86 cm)'in diameter at their widest location. General licensees never receive the tamper proof screws wrench or solvent cleaning / disassembly instructions.

{

Each cell is stamped with the radiation symbol, the words,

" Caution-Radioactive Material," the isotope and activity. Label plates.are attached by cable to a tamper proof screw on the j detector body. Users'are instructed not to remove these plates.

The plate contains the radiation symbol, the words, " Caution-Radioactive Material," the isotope, activity, model number, serial number, date, the words, " Electron Capture Detector," and l the manufacturer name and logo. Additionally, for the Models

G1223A, G1533A, G2310A, and G2330A, the generally licensed j

versions, the plate contains the labeling requirements of Section

' 32.51, and refers the user to an instruction manual that tells them not to open or chemically clean the cell.

DIAGRAM- i f See attachment 1.

i CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:

Each ECD is designed to be used in conjunction with gas chromatographs in analytical laboratories. Each ECD will be used

.in laboratory environs and by persons trained in the use of gas chromatography equipment. The ECD will normally be operated at temperatures up to 4103C (770 F).

PROTOTYPE TEST _ING:

Hewlett-Packard tested the detector cells to the criteria used on their presently licensed detector cells. The tests consisted of: .

  • Pressure test to 60 psi (414 kPa) .
  • Drop test from 1.5 meters (59").
  • Vibration test to 55 Hz with an amplitude of 0.015"

. (0.38 mm).

    • Freeze test to -40*C (-40*F).

Loss of Nickel-63 in carrier gas during normal use.

DEVICE TYPE: Electron Capture Detector SAFETY ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

(Cont.):

  • Under ordinary conditions of handling, storage, and use of the device, the byproduct material contained in the device will not be released or inadvertently removed from the  !

source housing, and it is unlikely that any person will I receive in any period of one year a dose in excess of 10  !

percent of the limits specified in Section 20.1201 (a ) , i l

10 CFR Part 20.

Under accident conditions associated with handling, storage, and use of the source housing, it is unlikely that any person would receive an external radiation dose or dose commitment in excess of the dose to the appropriate organ as specified in the following chart:

PART OF BODY DOSE Whole body; head and trunk; active blood-forming organs; gonads; or lens of eye 15 rem (0.15 Sv)

Hands and forearms; feet and

  • ankles; localized areas of skin averaged over areas no larger than 1 square centimeter 200 rem (2.0 Sv) i i

Other organs 50 rem (0.50 Sv)

Based on review of the Models G1223A, G1533A, G1224A, G1536A, G2310A and G2330A ECDs, and the information and test data cited below,-we continue to conclude that the devices are acceptable {

for licensing purposes.

Furthermore, we continue to conclude that the devices would be  !

expected to maintain their containment integrity for normal j conditions of use and accidental conditions which might occur j during uses specified in this certificate, j t
