l SOURCE TYPE: Gaseous Light Source l L

OESCR!pTION: l The gaseous tritium light sources (GTLS) are constructed of a sealed borosilicate glass envelope containing gaseous tritium. The envelopes are filled to a pres-sure ranging from just above zero to a maximum of 2.5 atmospheres. The glass envelopes are heat fusion sealed by laser or a torch. The intended use of the GTLS will determine what phosphor will be coated to the inside of the glass envelope prior to filling with tritium. The beta radiation excites the phosphor and can produce wave lengths in the band of 0.1 microns to 10.0 microns depending on the phosphor. One micron is equal to 10

• Angstroms (A).

The sources can be designed to hold a maximum activity of 50 curies. Mb-Microtec builds GTLS to the unique specification of a given user. However, the sources >

can be grouped in the following series. This grouping concept allows Mb-Microtec 3

to produce and sell'a product with the following design specification without

having an effect on public health and safety.

SAFETY ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

Based on our review of the information and test data cited below, that the  !

I light sources used in the device have been previously deemed acceptable for licensing by the NRC and have been used for 25 years in similar light models, we conclude that the Model'2040-XX isolite replaceable light module design is acceptable for licensing purposes. Additionally, the manufacturer has l submitted information to demonstrate that:

(i) The device can be safely operated by persons not having training in radiological protection. '

(ii) Under ordinary conditions of handling, storage and use of the device, the byproduct material ~ contained in the device will not be released or inadvertently removed from the device, and it is unlikely that any person will receive in any perio.d of one calendar quarter a dose in excess of 10% of the 1,imits specified in the table in Section 20.101(a) of this chapter.

~ SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Beta Source DESCRIPTION:

This source consists of nickel metal, electroplated or a backing f,,il of from 2 to 20 mils of gold, platinum, stainless steel, etc.

PROTOTYPE TESTlNG:

A typical use for the foil is as an ionization source in gas chromutogrr.nhy detector cells where it is exposed to high temparatures. The foil has been subjecte d to ,

high temperature tests and, act 9? ding to the manufacturer, can withstaud extended exposure at 400-450*C without 43'lioisotope losses to the environment.

The manufacturer's tests also inei Mf:J extended exposure of the foll in the temperaturr. range 500-530*C whort the source cxhibited colo

• ct:nges but no I detectable loss of activity. The me r.:factu>er is not recommeno.ng use witnin this temperature range since the ionizrt1t? (fficiency of the foil was adver ely affected.

Boiling the foil in various cleaning fluids for 5 ainutes indicated that the nickel deposit is subject to attack by acids contained in some cleaning fluids. Twenty- l five milliliter volumes of solution (N-Butane, Benzene and ethyl acetate) known gr l suspected of being contaminated with acid contained from 3.6 x 10-'.to 2.5 x 10' microcurie of activity.,3 Acid-free (waghedwithsodiumcarbonate)flutions l contained from 4.1 x 10 to 6.3 x 10~ microcurie. Therefore, cle/ning of the gas i chromatography detector cells containing the foil should be dont only with neutral l or slightly basic solutions. I l

% SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Chromatography Source DESCRIPTION:

U.S. Radium Corporation source Model LAB 508-2 beta sources consist of scandium tritide compound deposited on a metallic backing of Type 302 stainless steel (0.002-0.010 inch thick) or 0FHC copper (0.005-0.030 inch thick) of Hasteloy "C" (0.002-0.010 inch thick). The active side of the backing metal foil is coated with a 0.5-3 micron thick layer of scandium tritide by a vacuum deposition method.

Sources will not exceed an area of 4 square inches at a concentration of 4 curies per square inch. Each foil is characterized by measurement of the ionization current and Bremstrahlung and is given a visual examination for flaking, blisters, discoloration or other abnormalities. Each foil is heat treated for 12-24 hrs, at 325'C to out-gas readily releasable tritium and stabilize perfomance under normal

, operating conditions.

LABELING:

The sources bear no markings. Intermediate packaging of replacement sources contains warnings and precautions to be taken in handling the sources.

PROTOTYPE TESTING:

i Standard sources (16 ea) containing scandium tritide were thermally tested in two Varian aerograph gas chromatography detector cells to characterize the release of tritium as a function of terperature. A nitrogen carrier gas flow rate of 50 j ml/ min, was used in the experiments. The results indicate that a foil temperature i of approximately 275'C the tritium release rate is approximately 1 microcurie per j milliliter effluent and is linear. Above 275'C an exponential increase in the titanium release rate can be expected.

Tritium release is not significantly affected by the carrier gas flow rate.

Foils loaded to 4 Ci/ina were found to emanate 33% more tritium than foils loaded to 1 Ci/ int (as above) using argon-methane gas. Extreme thermal shock does not cause a sionificant change in the tritium release rate.

Cleaning foil surfaces with harsh or abrasive cleaners may result in variable and large (685 uti) tritium releases and is not recorsnended without extra precautions. The Varian KOH/Me0H cleaning procedure resulted in releases of roughly 0.3 microcuries tritium. Releases resulting from "handling" foils of 0.5 x 0.5 inch and of 1 Curie are shown in Table 2.

REGISTRY OF RADI0 ACTIVE SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES SAFETY EVALUATION OF SEALED SOURCE NO.: NY59451015 DATE: June 4, 1975 PAGE 2 0F 3 SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Light Source DESCRIPTION:

Betalights are sealed borosilicate glass tubes, internally coated with a zine sulfide phosphor and filled with tritium gas (HT or T,). The beta-particles resulting from radioactive decay are absorbed by the phosphor, causing it to emit light continuously in the visible spectrum.

The Betalights are produced in a wide variety of shapes and sizes which are usually made to normai glassworking tolerances. The paramcters defining a Betalight are (1) its size and shape, (2) color, and (3) brightness. As(1)and (3) are variable through wide limits as well as tube wall thicknesses (ranging from 0.10 m - 1.0 m), they are too numerous to outline in this sheet.

The manufacturer is authorized to distribute Betalights containing tritium in quantities up to but' not exceeding 10 curies. Betali.ghts containing less than 4 curies are defined by the manufacturer as unpressurized sources because tritium ,

is loaded into the tubes at pressures under one atmosphere. Betalights containing more than 4 curies are defined as pressurized sources because tritium is loaded into the tubes at pressures exceeding one atmosphere (up to 2-1/2 atmospheres).

LABELING:

The small sizer of the Betalights restrict the use of labels. The standard radiation infomation is specified in documents enclosed in transport packages.

CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:

Betalights are used for light calibration purposes and as a source of light in various devices such as aircraft markers, compasses, and marine and oceanographic devices.

EXTERNAL RADIATION LEVELS:

The glass is impervious to tritium, absorbs any beta-radiation not already absorbed in the phosphor, and as such does not present any external radiation  ;

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:

After loading with tritium gas, the ends of the Betalight tubes are sealed off using a gas / oxygen flame. The Betalights are leak tested by two methods (1) they are placed in a vacuum chamber for periods ranging between 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and I week. Macrascopic visual disappearance of the light indicates a faulty seal and leakage, and/or (2) they are placed in a known closed volume chamber for  !

predetermined periods. The air of the closed system is then monitored for tritium.

LIMITATIONS AND/OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF USE:

The manufacturer has been authorized to distribute Betalights to persons specifically licensed.

REGISTRY OF RADIOACTIVE SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES SAFETY EVALUATION OF SOURCE NO: NR-470-S-101-S DATE: PAGE 2 0F 5 SEP 27 154 DESCRIPTION:

The custom sources are doubly encapsulated and fabricated using 304 stainless steel. Each capsule is sealed by arc welding. The source is designed to allow attachment of a cable assembly. This allows the source to be drawn through a tube that passes by counting equipment on Naval ships. The technicians can determine if the counting equipment and related circurity is operating properly by using this method. The source is normally lockeddin the tube when not in use.

The source models C2106-AB00 and C2106-AC00 are similar in construction, the only difference being that the AB00 has 2.5 curies, the AC00 source has 0.06 curies and is assembled using Monsanto's new welding methodology.

LABELING:

The outer capsule is electro-etched with the radiation trefoil symbol, the words, "Caution Radioactive Material", the isotope and activity date, assay and unique serial number.

DIAGRAM:

See Attachment I CONDITION OF NORMAL USE:

The source is used by trained personnel to stimulate counting equipment and to test the circurity and, operability of counting equipment aboard Naval ships. The source is normally protected from the severe environs pssociated with open sea travel.

SAFETY ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

Based on our review of the information and test data cited below, that the source is equivalent to the neutron source previously deemed acceptable for licensing, we conclude that the source design in this document are acceptable for custom licensing purposes.

Furthermore, we conclude that the sources would be expected to maintain their contairraent integrity for normal conditions of uses as specified in this certificate.
