Dear Mr. Buxton:

This refers to your request dated March 30, 1983, to registse your inline ash meter.

Our review of your submitted information yielded a need for additional infbruntion/ clarification of the following items:

l o Describe how the plexiglass shutter is.used to successfully

block the radiation beam and if the shutter can be locked in plac's o In addition to the information contained in your label, the I following should also appear on the label (s)

name or logo l of the manufacturer.1sotope and activity, date of assay of 4

the sour.ca activity, 'The' label (s) must be durable enough to l remain legible for the useful life of the device and be l

readily visible.

o Describe the plane ~i use of the device and identify the environ-l mest and operating condit16ns expected during normal use.

. Indicate the expected useful life of the source / device. If the information provided in the brochure is the maximum climatic conditions that the device will be subjected to<, then provide the expected useful life of the source / device.

o Although the photographs of the device were very well done, they

! do not lend themselves to be reproduced legibly. Therefore, send us a diagram or photo that can be reproduced legibly.

o Although you provided historical data on the devices in use in l

England, we need a copy of the test results of testing that were performed on at least one device. This testing should correlate with the ANSI N538 standard enti.tled, " Classification of Industrial Ionizing Gauging Devices." Provide also the ANSI M538 classification desi0 nation. This testing should demonstrate that the device will maintain its containment integrity during the specified conditions of use.
