DESCRIPTION:

I These devices are designed to provide a fixed beam of radiation to be used'in a gamma-ray tomography system used for industrial inspection.

The devices,' equipped with a spring-loaded air actuator, provide a means.for remote operation, and the depleted i

uranium shield provides storage for the radiation source when not t

is'use.

The.Model 1006A and 1006B devices are constructed using a

' depleted uranium shield, carbon steel' holding rings, and a 300 series stainless steel cuter shell.

The' shield is a two-part

depleted uranium casting.

The stainless' steel outer shell is.

-j comprised of. a 12X"' (32.39' cm) diameter by 16" (4 0. 64 - cm) tall right. circular cylinder which contains the depleted uranium shielding, and an 8%" (21. 91 cm)- diameter by ' 14M" (36. 83 cm) e

. tall right circular cylinder <which~ covers and protects the air l

actuator and electronic solenoid'from. damage.

The bottom l

-mounting flange may vary in configuration to allow customized mounting: orientations,--but will in"all cases totally enclose.the shielding compartment.

i

.The depleted uranium.-shield.(approximately 600.lbs (272.16 kg] )

is'made in two' pieces and is: secured within.the outer shell with a bolt'flangeland. carbon' steel positioning' angle supports and circumferencefrings.

1 A beam port is machined on the interface surface of the upper

- and/or lower halves ofth'e1 depleted: uranium: shield from the i

center-line axis toithe outer surfsce,'providing~a radiation beam not to exceed?45"Lin the' horizontal axis.and'a vertical opening s

not to exceed 0.250"'(6.35 mm).

A stainless steel tube is

' inserted through'the, center-line'of the shield and passes-completely through the' upper half of the shield and 2.5" q

(6.35' cm) into the bottom half.

This tube is 0.625" (15.88 mm) 30

I LABELING:

l t

Thel device bears the. manufacturer's nameplate which specifies the

model, serial numbers source numbers capacity and-isotope.

l Included on the nameplate is a notice that the device contains j

approximately'600 lbs. (272.16 kg)- of depleted uranium.

The unit also has two gummed labels which state " Danger, Radioactive l

-Material" andLinclude!the radiation caution symbol.

The labels i

'also bear' instructions t'o' notify the manufacturer or civil l

authorities if.found.

-TheLModels 1006ALand 1 06B Gahma-Ray Tomography' Source Holders are no longer manufactured or' distributed byfGamma; Industries,

<Inc.fand Gamma Industries,'Inc. is noilonger in. business.

Therefore,'the resistration certificate'is being converted to an inactive' registration-certificate.

Theldevices were ; originally approved:"for licensing purposes har

.the: Louisiana Division of Radiation Control.

NRC attempted to s.

lobtain1 copies of all information' submitted by the registrant' in

' support cNE the-evaluation.

However, NRC could not' locate all the information.

Therefore, no safety' evaluation of the devices were j

performed _as part;of the conversion of the certificate to inactive status.
