Radiation Protection Program Samples enter the analyzer through a shielded slide mechanism.

No indications of leakage have been detected by the internal Nal detector.

Source is protected by it's stainless steel shell and heavy shielding.

Detector is checked daily and leak test is performed twice each year.

The Radiation Protection Officer reviews badge analyses on a Monthly basis and procedures on an annual basis.

Sesponsible supervisor maintains day to day records of use and controls. He trains those who use the instrument and Ilmits entry to the restricted area and use of the instrument to those trained to do so.

Item 16.

Formal Training in Radiation Safety.

Texas Nuclear set the instrument in place and provided a formal training program in its use and in Radiation safety in 1972.

S. Lelks, A. Gugeler and R. Linderman were trained at that time.

Mr. L. Snodgrass is self-trained through National Safety Council courses, NRC publications and 10 CFR parts 19 thru 73.

lb LEAK TEST PROCEDURE FOR NALA The irradiator shield should not be dismantled in order to leak test.

Testing of the sample holder and end plate is adequ&te.

The slide tray should be positioned so that the sample holder 1.

is outside the shield.

Open the mailing tube and remove the two cotton-tipped 2.

applicators, the bottle containing the wash solution, and the leak test instructions.

Moisten the applicators in the solution and wipe the sample 3

holder surfaces, where contamination is most,likely to appear.

The radioactlye material itself may be in a small, powder-like form and if the steel encapsulation fails, the material can appear on the exterior of the sample holder and slide tray.

After wiping, place the applicators in the bottle (cotton 4.

down) and break the wooden stems off against the bottle edge so that the top can be resealed.

Care abould be taken not to touch the cotton end of the applicators with the fingers following the wiping operation.

Place the bottle containing the cottom tips back in the mail-5 Fill out the ing tube, after securely sealing the bottic.

information requested on the " Leak Test Request".

Upon completion, place the information sheets back in the 6.

mailing tube and rescal.

Use the self-addressed label to retur., to Texas nuclear.

'7 l

Upon receipt of the tube, the applicators will be counted on very sensitive equipment that has a demonstrated sensitivity and accuracy of 1.02 x 10-5 Ci 5% for Pu-238.

If the applicators are found to be free of contamination, a notice will be sent via mail in the form of a leak test certificate.

If the applicators are found to contain significant amounts of radioactive material, an emergency notifi-cation will be sent, via telephon6 Cr. telegram, advising that the unit must be taken out of servi e and what additional actions should l

be taken.

The Post Office Department regulations prohibit the shipment of radioactive material thrcugh the mails when the level of gamma radiatien at the outer surface of the mailing tube exceeds O.4 Therefore, the mailing tube should be milliroentgens per hour.

surveyed with an appropriate radiation detector, when such is If the levels exceed 0.4 milli-availabic, prior to mailing.

roentgens per hour, notify Texas Nuclear for further instructions.
