AUG 301982 HEMORANDUM FOR:

Richard D. Cunningham, Director, Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety THRU:

John T. Collins, Regional Administrator, Region IV FROM:

Glen D. Brown, Chief, Technical Programs Branch

SUBJECT:

PROPOSED REVISION OF 10 CFR PART 35

Reference:

Memorandum dated August 17, 1982, Cunningham to Collins We have reviewed the subject document and have the following concern:

% 35.51

\\

We have problems concurring with the regulation for not calibrating GM-Type J

4

.pO[b survey instruments af ter initial calibration or servicing. Without arguing the technical merits of calibration of these devices, the requirement is not

'+

consistent with Regulatory Guide 10.8 nor 10 CFR Part 34.24 which requires Q'

calibration of survey instruments at intervals not to exceed 3 months and after each servicing. Almost all of the survey instruments used in radiography are GM types.

We have the following editorial comments:

(1) On page 6 of the letter from Mr. Dirks to the Commissioners a statement j

is made that the license and cover letter... copy to Regional Office of Inspection and Enforcement. This should be changed to the Regional NRC Office.

1 f

(2) $ 35.38 Supervision r

4>x 1

(9) The word unlicensed receipt should be changed to licensed.

y (3) % 35.900 Radiation Safety Officer pW An "or" should be added following Health Physics since we do not believe l

it is the intent th,at both (9)(1) and (2) are required.
