GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Wultex In-Line Ash Meter gives instantaneous knowledge of product quality in terms of Ash percentage.

The Ash Meter is normally sited over the final outfeed conveyor of a Coal Preparation or Blending Plant prior to loading into either the final hopper or bunker.

A detector unit, housing a radioisotope source (Americium 241 of 50 millicuries output) and a scintillation probe, is suspended above the flow of coal on a frame which automatically adjusts itself to the height of coal on the conveyor via a plough. The main purpose of the plough is to present a level bed of coal to the detector unit.

The system operates by continuously measuring the backscatter of gamma radiation from the coal flow. The ratio of radiation backscattered to radiation absorbed depends on the chemical composition of the coal being scanned. Generally, the higher the Ash Content, the lower the backscatter.

The backscattered rays received by the scintillation probe are converted into electrical pulses which are compared with standard pulses from a quartz crystal and are then boosted via an amplification unit for transmission to the electronic control console. The console can be situated in a control room or laboratory up to 1 Km from the detector unit.

l The control console converts the electronic pulses into a Percentage i

Ash Reading for display on an L.E.D. display unit. Provision can be made j

for other forms'of display.

l The display is phased to suit particular needs from intervals of ten seconds upwards.

In addition to the visual display, a printer / recorder is supplied to give a permanent record of Ash Content.

Integration facilities can be included.

SUMMARY

1.)

The source holder and scintillation probe are housed in a robust chamber within the detector unit. This chamber is securely locked to ensure other than authorized personnel. No one can gain access to them.

2.)

To isolate the emission of gamma rays into the stream of coal, a plexiglass plate is inserted and locked to secure it in position.

This plate can be inserted from outside the security barriers.

3.)

External guards are built around the meter, these guards are of robust construction. The only means of access into this area are via locked gates. Only authorized personnel are in access to the keys.

4.)

Electrical sequence switches are installed to render the meter idle if the correct operational status is not achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM PARTS The Model WXG1, Wultex In-line ash meter is described by drawings, photographs and text in the enclosed blue / green brochure, Radio Metric Ash Meter printed by the Waltex Machine Company Limited, parent company of hbitex U.S. Incorporated. As detailed on Page Three, "..

30 producers in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe are already using the meter" as of 1976.

The Wultex ash meter has undergone successive tests and improvements resulting in the Model WXG1 now proposed for use in the United States.

Figure One is a photograph of a demonstration model (without source),

entitled, "Wultex In-Line Ash Meter Demonstration Model at Warrendale, PA," located just outside of Pittsburgh, which is available for inspection and personnel training. This demonstration model is an actual full scale Model WXG1, except for a non-moving conveyor belt and the enclosing safety mesh guard of "Expanet".

Figure Two is a Wultex drawing 111980/2 dated the 16th of March 1981 showing the "Expamet" mesh guard and radiation warning signs.

Figure Three is a Wultex drawing WX 82-6-24/36 dated the 22nd of October 1982 of the Radiation Source Container located within the " detector unit showing scintillation probe and source holder" (photograph Page Two of brochure). This source container inside the source holder contains the radiation source of Am241 as will be subsequently described.

Industrial Service Record The Wultex ash meter has been approved and certified for radiological safety by the National Coal Board of England for use at coal mines in England and numerous reports and publications describe satisfactory use with complete safety.

Similar reports exist of satisfactory use of the Wultex ash meter in Europe. Since 1979 and continually for five years, the Wultex ash meter has been used at over 30 different sites without any in-cident of personnel exposure or non-compliance with any countries regulatory requirements.

This excellent record of the Wultex ash meter is to be maintained in the United States by active management control of radiological safety through in-house training of personnel, a company policy of leasing Wultex ash meters, retains ownership of the radioactive source through installation and operation of the meter for sufficient time, normally over one year, to adequately train plant personnel in the safe use of the Wultex meter. Thus, the manufacturer with its health physics service is to be the owner and solely responsible for radiation safety of all the Wultex in-sta11ations, including leak testing, disposal or re-location.

If, however, plant personnel demonstrate through a period of training and instruction to provide adequate radiation responsibility, consideration will be given to specific NRC license application'and purchase of a Wultex ash meter.

Operational Procedures 1

Following the contract lease of a Wultex ash meter by a company of the United States, a Model WXG1 will be delivered and installed by Wultex U.S. Incorporated without a radiation source. Upon satisfactory mechanical operation of the ash meter with moving coal, a radiation source of 50 mci Am241 will be purchased by the Five Four Three Company and installed at the plant as described in Section B, Application for Amendment to license SNM 1872. The Five Four Three Company will be solely responsible for radiological safety, leak testing, disposal or replacement and compliance with license requirements.

Meter calibration will be conducted by the manu-facturer and the 543 Co. together with all electrical and mechanical main-tenance.

Radiological maintenance required inside the "Expamet" fencing, and specifically inside the locked steel box of the detector unit will be conducted by the Five Four Three Company. Only in the event of an accident will keys to the unit be available to the plant personnel as described under the Radiation Safety Section.

Following a period of one year of satisfactory operations, plant personnel may be trained in operational maintenance by Wultex representa-tives in accordance with specific license by NRC or Agreement States.

O O

RADIATION SAFETY SECTION Introduction The WULTEX In-Line Ash Meter incorporates one Americium-241 isotope capsule of 50 millicuries activity, an Amersham Corporation Code AMC.66, disc source with stainless steel window of 10.8 mm overall diameter and 5.0 mm thickness, NRC li s ting-AMC.65-66.

The disk source is retained in a Wultex Radiation Source Container, Wultex drawing WX 82-6-24/36 dated 22-10-82, essentially a machined lead cylinder with metal body cover and handle and threaded clamp nut approximately 3.66 inches high and 2.421 inches in diameter.

The Radiation Source Container is bolted into a Scintillation Probe and Source Holder shown in accompanying photographs and the Probe and Source Holder are enclosed in a locked steel box of approxinately a cubic foot size bolted to a supporting steel angle framework mounted over a conveyor belt.

The entire system of isotope source-soumce container-probe and source holder and enclosing steel box is designed to provide maximum safety and security in the event of accident or explosion with redundant safeguards against unauthorized removal and accidental radiation exposure. No measurable radiation exposure is possible at any accessible surface.

The measured and calculated gamma flux at all accessible surfaces of the steel box is less than 0.1 mr/h, indistin-guishable from background and in addition, the supporting angle framework is covered with heavy screen mesh, primarily to prevent accidental contact with the conveyor belt or rollers.

O

AG O

v Warnings-- Hazard 17, Radiation is emitted from the circular aperature of the source container of the source holder as a vertical cone of radiation into the coal on the conveyor belt, beneath the steel box. A three-to-four-inch space exists between the steel box and conveyor belt which is out of reach by anns or legs unless the conveyor belt is removed. A sliding plexiglass sealing window is provided to shield the cone of radiation should the conveyor belt itself require replacement. This plexiglass window is primarily used for meter calibration, but when closed com-pletely shields the radiation cone which is directed toward the beit.

Radiation warning signs in accordance with NRC regulations are visible on the framework mesh, as are standard posted notices and record-keeping require-

~

men ts.

WARNING...

Attention is drawn to the HAZARD WARNING above.

If the source holder is accidentally fractured or the steel box is any way opened, switch off the equipment, isolate the area around the machine to prevent access by other per-sonnel and call your licensed health physics organization to deal with the emergency.

Their name is on page 20.

Access to the probe and source holder inside the locked steel box is restricted to authorized personnel only in an emergency.

For emergency purposes, a master key is retained by the plant superintendent. Maintenance and replacemGnt of parts within the steel box is to be conducted by the manufacturer or licensed health physics organization including 6-month leak testing of the radiation source.

Don't dis-assemble any part of the Coal Presentation System nor change conveyor belts without closing the plexiglass window slide.

Don't remove any radiation warning signs.

nU

]

Installing and Removal of Radiation Source 18.

Source installation or removal is to be conducted only by a licensed -

organization specifically trained by the Wultex manufacturer and approved by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission or an Agreement State.

Repair and maintenance which involves access to the steel box has the same restriction.

Relocation or disposal of the Wultex In-Line Ash Meter requires authorized removal and storage of the source holder before disassembly.

Wipe Testing (Leak Testing)

This test must be carried out by licensed personnel at intervals stated by statutory regulations. Wipe the following surfaces:

1.

Isotope disk window 2.

Isotope source holder 3.

Accessible surfaces within the source container WARNING: During each periodic wipe testing, the source container and disk source must be inspected using mirrors, for signs of contamination and corrosion particularly of the welded staii.less steel window and of the retaining threads of the source container.

Replacement. is required of severely corroded parts, posting Requirements and Record Keeping In accordance with 10 CFR 20.203 (b) and 34.42, the area of a Wultex Ash Meter shall be posted Radiation Area during source installation or removal, but shall not be so posted during routine operation of the meter. The Wultex framework shall be posted Radioactive Material in accordance with 10CFR 20,203 (F).

At the immediate area of a Wultex Ash Meter, protected from coal dust and moisture, shall be posted:

1.

Form NRC-3 2.

A copy of the license or of the operating procedure 3.

Location of an available copy of 10CFR20 Records of radiation exposure of individuals will not be required by the work site of Wultex Ash Meter except that of licensed personnel during source installation, leak testing or disposal.

0:

O 1,.

Records of surveys,. inventory, leak tests, and disposal shall be maintained by the licensee.

Facilities and records shall be available at all times for inspection by NRC or Agreement-State inspectors.

Accident and Emergency Procedures 20.

The possibility of fire, explosion or other accidents have been carefully considered in the design and installation of the Wultex Ash Meter. The only combustible materials near a meter installation are three inches of coal on a rubberized conveyor belt.

The possibility of fire from an overheated bearing or adjacent welding might result in damaged electrical circuits while the double steel compartments of the source container and steel box should resist any fire damage.

No likely accident could reduce source security.

Summary of Safety Responsibilities The responsibility and authority for control of all Wultex radiological installations is assigned to Robert F. Stewart, President and Radiation Safety Officer of the Five Four Three Company. He will maintain active management control of management policies, company administrative and operating procedures and safety procedures related to protection against radiation exposures. He will perform the twenty duties detailed in the application for Amendment to license SNM-1872, serving as liaison officer with the NRC, maintaining control of licensed material and statutory regulations of the NRC or Agreement State.

Introduction This application is for addition to License SNM-1872 providing for use of D.

Americium 241 Sealed Sources 10 sources not to exceed (Amersham AMC.65-66) 50 mil 11 curies each for use in Wultex Ash Meters at locations throughout the United States to include use and/or possession. incident to installation, operation, calibration, wipe testing, removal and storage of sources used in the ash meters.

Licensee: The Five Four Three Co. (543 Co.)

Route 8, Box 228E Morgantown, WV 26505 Phone. 304-292-9729 2.

Review of Facilities, Personnel and Equipment Reference is made to application dated November 3,1978 as amended July 22, 1980, Docket No. 070-02930, resulting in License SNM-1872 dated July 30, 1980, expiration date July 31, 1985.

The described facilities, a two-room radisotope laboratory of MCRC, have been supplemented by office space in an adjacent building for filing and record-keeping in accordance with the philosophy of ALARA.

Personnel, primarily Robert F. Stewart, has been increased by employment of M. R. Stewart (Robin), age 28, Soc. Sec. No. 019-46-4184, B.. Temple University 1982, in training as a radiation technician with two years on-the-job training in Sortex Meters and completion of Course CCMD 350, Radiation Safety and Radio-nuclide Use, taught by Dr. Slack, West Virginia University,198".

Equipment has been supplemented by development of procedures and equipment for decontamination and low-level measurement of soil samples. This resulted from the observation and study of a radiation spill and 900-drum contamination of soil from a drilling rupture of 500 mCiAm 241 sources by Consol in an adjacent State.

The incident provided practical information on decontamination and disposal probler.s with essentially no personnel exposure, but some $1 million cost in cleanup.

It provided training in procedures useful should an ash meter source ever become ruptured by accident, and gives a specific example of the need for preventive maintenance.

3.

Activity and Inspections Under SNM-1872 Since July 30, 1980.

During this period, eight (8) Sortex Ash Meters were installed and periodically tested. Two meters were deconmissioned and a third turned over to TVA for radiation responsibility.

Inspection of the facilities on May 18, 1982, by NRC Compliance Inspectors resulted in "No item of noncompliance or unsafe conditions were found" (See attached Fonn NRC-591.)

Current Occupational External Radiation lxposure for all 543 Co. personnel show essentially no exposure above background; Forms NRC-5 enclosed.

Operating and Emergency Procedures Guidelines for all procedures are described in the Radiation Safety Manual of the 543 Co. The specific procedures for the Wultex Ash Meter follow:

(a) Dumy Testing. As with all new source training, practice installations are made with " dummy" sources (non-radioactive) of the same size and weight as actual sources.

Referring to Figure 3, Radiation Source Container, and the source container from the demonstration model, proceed as follows:

(1) Unbolt and remove the Expamet front guard panel, install radiation warning signs at work area and have radiation assistant prevent personnel approach within 20 feet of work area.

Record area survey readings of accessible surfaces of steel box.

(2) Unlock the steel box containing the detector probe.

(3) Unscrew the large wing nuts holding the flange of the scintillation probe, remove the probe exposing the source container handle.

(4) Lift the source container to the flange surface by the lifting handle and plug the clamp nut opening with a lead plug, effectively shield-ing the source container from any surface radiation.

(5) Remove the radiation source container to a nearby work table with radiation warning signs and a monitoring assistant in attendance with a survey meter, all other personnel to be restricted beyond a 20-foot distance.

(6) Unscrew the clamp nut from bottom of the container, releasing the body cover and exposing the container cover. Unscrew the interior nut, releasing the interior source container, which is removed to expose the source cavity.

(7) Unpackage the Am 241 shipping container, exposing the shipping pig.

Remove and untape the pig lid, removing foam plugs with tweezers to disclose the Am 241 source.

(8) With mirror and holding tongs, examine the disk source, holding the disk faced on the pig lid or a lead brick.

(9) Record source serial number and condition of the source weld for any corrosive stains or oxide powder.

(10)

If leak testing is to be conducted, or in the absence of a le6k test certification within six months, wipe test the source with a solvent damp cotton swab using the standard wipe test procedure.

(Repeat a wipe test of the source cavity.)

(11) Following source inspection, place the disk source with holding tongs into the source cavity, maintaining the source window pointed downward.

(12) Place the container cover over the source and install the source nut finger-tight (for actual plant use for extended periods, verify protective oil on all thread surfaces.) Verify source stability and leak-tightness by shaking, and wrench-tighten the source nut one-quarter turn.

(13) Reassemble the container cover, installing the covering roller, and wrench-tighten the clamp nut (verify protective oil on threads).

O o-26.

(14) With lead plug securely closing hole in clamp nut, carry the source container back to the detector probe and install above detector flange, removing the lead plug without finger exposure (Store plug for future use).

(15) Lower the source container within the detector flange, replace the scintillation probe and screw down the wing nuts on the flange cover.

-(16) For plant use, place one drop of fingernail polish or fast-drying paint on each of the wing nut threads, both to seal the nuts against vibration-loosening and to verify uncracked paint seals upon the next examination. Since no detectable radiation can be measured at any accessible surface of an installed source (except by narrow probe tied to a long pole and placed between conveyor belt and detector--an inadvisable practice for Geiger tubes) source verifica-tion must be recorded following each installation or leak test.

Source installation is verified from electronic readout with the plexiglass plate closeo to reflect radiation to a count of 67.1 to 67.5 percent (value varies for specific source in use).

(17) Verify source installation by recording and by written tape on the detector flange listing the source installed, the date and the installer.

(18) Close and lock the steel box, secure keys, verify ir. stalled radiation warning signs (4 each) and adjust the detector unit to 100 non above the conveyor belt.

(19) Complete an area survey before and af ter each source installation and/or wipe test, recording the maximum radiation at all accessible surfaces.

(20) Reinstall the Expamet front guard with its radiation warning sign and verify that the Wultex Ash Heter is prepared to accept moving coal.

(21) Complete, sign and date all installation and inspection records.

5.

Training Program A dummy practice installation has been completed on the demonstration model at Warrendale, PA. Following licensing, a 50mCiAm 241 source will be purchased from Amersham for installation training at the 543 Co. Radioisotope Laboratory and installation practiced to verify installation and leak testing of the source container without personnel exposure. The practice results should be similar to those obtaining with two 20 mci sources of Pu 238 or Cm 244 currently used on a routine basis.

Calibration of the Wultex Ash Meter with different coals is done without radiation exposure or entry within the Expamet guard fencing and without unlocking the steel box.

A program for training of plant personnel is planned after a successful year of operation of the Wultex Ash Meter.

Several years of experience with Sortex meters has indicated that the main problem is choice of an individual who is likely to remain on duty despite strikes and layoffs. This factor is a strong recommendation for continuous leasing from both the manufacturer's and plant management viewpoints and is considerably influenced by the reliability of the meter.
