Dear Mr. Godwin:
i 1
This is to supplement information provided to you in our December j
17,1996 letter on the handling of finished aircraft engine parts containing nickel thoria alloy as wel j
questions on ametting of thorium contaminated scrap. Our response to you has res i
i questions relative to nickel thoria alloys covered by 540.13(c)(8) and other thor containing tungsten and magnesium covered under 540.13(c)(4). Further inforrnation j
follows:
the 10 CFR 40.13(c)(8) exemption which specifies th
}
the nickel thoria alloy in the form of finely divided thoria (thorium dioxide); SDd i
therium content in the nickel thoria alloy does not exceed 4% by weight.
1 1
it should be noted that no similar exemption exists for other thorium alloys 1
containing tungsten or magnesium covered under 540.13(c)(4). Scrap dealers and processors may possess finished products or parts containing thoria alloy as described in 10 CFR 40.13 (c)(4), but are not allowed to process these finished products or parts. The exemption in 10 CFR 40.13 (c)(4) does not apply to AEAR metal (by definition not finished products or parts) containing magnesium or tungsten thorium alloys. These alloys may not be chemically, physically or i
metal!urcically treated or processed after the finished products or parts are j
manufactured. Handling these alloys without a specific license, will place scrap processors in violation of 140.13(c)(4) or the equivalent Agreement State j
regulation.
4 We suggest that as specific cases are identified, you advise scrap processors Dg1 SDX thorium alloy scrap unless they know the scrap's content and origin.
i Sincerely, l
/s/ Patricia Larkins for PHL Paul H. Lohaus, Deputy Director Office of State Program i

Date:

Subject:
Mag-Thoria This is another one of those problem areas involving an exemption. We have been contacted by a consultant wha indicated that his clinant was receiving aircraft part consisting of mag-thoria compounds. The cliant was drilling and grinding the parts for futher use. Two workers were whole body dounted for thorium and were negative. The clinat does not have a license. further, the cliant indicated that the NRC Licensee was aware of his activities and is transfering these part to several other unlicen. sed firms who are also 9rinding the parts.
I will advise as we develop more information.
