I UWNR O21 Original RSC Approval 1/13/86 Page 1 of 5 Introduction This doc ument describes the Quality Assurance Program governing shipment and receipt of radioactive materials, including special nuclear materials, at the University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor Laboratory (UWNRL).
Activities at the UWNRL are governed by licenses R-74 and SNM-116.
The docket number appicable to license R-74 is 50-156.
This Quality Assurance Program is submitted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 71, paragraph 71.12 and subpart H.
The program outline follows Regulatory Guide 7.10 annex 2 insofar as applicable to the activities contemplated by the laboratory.
1.
Oreanization Figure 1 shows the organizational chart for operation of the University of Wisconsin Nuclear Reactor.
The Quality Assurance function is the responsibility of the Reactor Director.
All written procedures are reviewed and approved by the Reactor Safety Committee under the existing system established in accordance with the Technical Specifications of license R-74.
Reactor operating personnel have the responsibility for shipping, receiving and monitoring shipments of radioactive materials shipped directly from or to the laboratory.
Shipments under the University of Wisconsin license for byproduct materials, however, are under the control of the University Radiation Safety Committee through the organization set up for those shipments.
That program is not addressed in this QA plan.
The University Health Physics office of the University Safety Department audits all programs at the Reactor Laboratory, but has no direct responsibility for the program described in this document.
2.
Quality Assurance procram The scope of the program includes packing, unpacking, handling, loading or unloading, and delivery to a carrier for transport shipping containers which have been approved by the NRC and/or DOT.
No provisions for fabrication, maintenance, or modification of such containers are included in the plan since the laboratory will not be involved in those activities.
Procedures will include provisions for inspection of the shipping containers for degradation or other unsuitability for use.
Quality control will be exercised primarily by the use of written procedures based on (a) Federal regulations requirementsi (b) instructions, procedures, and drawings
E UWNR 021 Original RSC Approval 1/13/86 Page 2 of 5 furnished by container fabricators; and (c) applicable portions of University and laboratory radiation protection procedures.
Quality assurance will be effected by formatting these procedures as check lists to be executed by those carrying out the activities.
3.
Desien Control Design activities related to the shipping package are not performed by the UWNRL.
The proper design control by the fabricator of packages used shall be established by a copy of the current Certificate of Compliance and expiration date or by other appropriate evidence of NRC and/or DOT approval.
4.
procurement Control Procurement activities relative to fabrication of the shipping package will.not be performed by UWNRL.
Containers will be used for shipment only if the fabrication has furnished UWNRL with:
(a) Certification that the package was manufactured under the control of a NRC-approved QA program or otherwise meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71; (b) Identification of tests and and inspections required during use and maintenance; and (c) Other documentation as required for use of the container by the approving authority.
5.
INSTRUCTION
S. PROCEDURE
S. ARD DRAWINGS 5.1 Preparation of Packaging for Use.--The routine determinations of 10 CFR 71.87, where applicable, will be subject to checklist assurance.
5.2 Repairs, Rework, and Maintenance.--The activities repair, rework, or maintenance are not to be performed.
Servicing, such as gasket replacement, shall be in accordance with package specifications.
5.3 Loading and Unloading.--Transfer of material to or from the package shall be conducted under a plan of sufficient specificity to identify and account for quantities conforming to shipping papers and inventory change reports.
Surveys of radiation fields and surface contamination of the package shall be made and recorded.
5.4 Transport of Package.--Upon delivery of packages to a carrier for transport, the condition of the package as evidenced by visual inspection will be noted; the seals and labels will be recorded along with the package identification by model and identification number.
A check list procedure will be used.
6.
DOCUMENT CONTROL Control shall be exercised over the following documents:
T UWNR 021 Original RSC Approval 1/13/86 Page 3 of 5 (1)
Document check list (2)
Operating Procedures (3)
Inspection Procedures (4)
Loading or Unloading Plans (5)
Documents relating to package certification, QC, and QA (6)
Radiation Survey Records (7)
Shipping Papers Procedures and check lists, and changes thereto, are to be approved in accordance to facility requirements on the use of procedures in conformance with Technical Specifications of license R-74.
7.
CONTROL DE PURCHASED MATERIAL. EQUIPMENT. AND SERVICES No special purpose materials or equipment are to be purchased for this activity.
Services such as container off-loading, and carrier transport'will be procured via normal University procedures.
8.
IDENTIFICATION AHD CONTROL DE MATERIALS. PARTS.
COMPONENTS No materials, parts or components are to be identified or controlled for this activity.
Replacements other than serviceable items will be performed by other approved programs.
9.
SpECIAL PROCESSES No special processes are to be undertaken under this program.
10.
INSPECTION CONTROL 10.1 Receipt Inspection.--Inadequately identified packaging, or packaging which deviates significantly from certifications, will not be used unless or until corrected.
10.2 Maintenance.--Maintenance other than prescribed servicing will not be performed by the University.
10.3 Final Inspection.--Check lists will be established to ensure that:
(1)
Packages are properly assembled.
(2)
Moderators and/or neutron absorbers are present if required.
(3)
Shipping papers are properly completed.
(4)
Packages and transport vehicle are conspicuously and durably marked as required by DOT.
(5)
Pre-loading and post-loading radiation surveys have been completed.
(6)
Final inspection has been completed.
Inspection is to be certified by the Reactor Director or i
his designated alternates.

TEST CONTROL 11.1 Use of Packages.--Tests permitted, recommended, or specified by package licensee will be used to establish a QA check list.
11.2 Radiation Survey--Radiation survey results are to be compiled and records maintained by the Reactor Director.
12.
CONTROL DE MEASURING ARD TEST EQUIPMENT As a user, the University does not expect to use gauges, fixtures, reference standards, or other devices used to measure product (container) characteristics.
Radiation survey equipment shall be maintained and calibrated in accordance with existing UWNRL procedures.
13.
