- DATE, PAGE 2 OF 9 DEVICE TYPEt Calibration. Device DESCRIPTION:
The Gamma Industries' Model 1005A and Model 1005M Calibrator Devices are designed to be used as radiation dose calibrators.
The isotope for which they are designed is Cesium-137.
Each model is designed to perform as a shipping and storage container
'for the designated source.
Each is tested or evaluated to meet applicable U.S. DOT regulations for Type A shipping containers.
'The Model' 1005A designates an. automated exposure system and the Model 1005M designates a manual system of exposure.
The shield design, source holder and configuration are identical-for both
- models.
The Model' 1005 calibrator is a device constructed with an outer shell of steel painted with epoxy paint.
The interior (shield) is constructed of cast lead to provide personnel shielding while the source is in the safe position.
A collimated window is provided with a beam shape of 80 horizontal arc, with a 30*
vertical arc ~such that the radioactive beam is " directional" when the source'is~ exposed.
A fan-shaped tungsten plate is located on the. bottom-face of the collimated; window.to provide additional shielding in the window area.
If the;Model 1005A source is moved from safe to exposed by an air actuator, which is electrically engaged, on loss of power or air pressure, the source is returned to the safe position by. gravity and spring pressure.
Source
~
position is indicated on the source control. panel electrically, position is determined by two microswitches on the source holder
~
actuator arm.
A green _ light' indicates the. source in the fully safe position, a red light indicates:the' source in the fully
' exposed position and an amber" light indicates the: source is in an intermediate position.
Th'e Model 1005A will be used in l conjunction with a^ timer' control module which will allow for long exposures to provide high radiation doses for. dosimetry calibrations.

Calibration Device LIMITATIONS AND/OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF USE:
Distribution of these calibrators is limited to users authorized by a specific' license.
The device is designed to serve as a U.S. DOT Type A shipping package.
Users concerned with accuracy should have the calibration system calibrated in the operating facility to ensure environmental changes or differences in installation are accounted for.
The source, or accessible locations of the device where contamination would be expected to accumulate, should be leak-tested at 6 month intervals.
Source exchange is not allowed by the user.
These devices are shielded with lead, which would be expected to deform under a high temperature condition.
Operating and emergency procedures of the specific license should emphasize the use of proper survey instruments whenever using these devices.
Electrical and visual indicators of source retraction should be verified by survey after use of the calibrator.
SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
The Model 1005A and 1005M Calibration Devices are no longer
~
~
manufactured or distributed by Gamma Industries, Inc. and Gamma Industries, Inc. is no' longer in business.
Therefore, the registration certificate is being-converted.to an inactive I

SUMMARY
~ (Cont- ' d) -
'The devices were originally approved.for licensing ~ purposes by the Louisiana. Division of. Radiation'; Control.
'.NRC attempted to obtain copies of--all information submitted by the registrant in 3
support of the evaluatiion.
However,~NRC could not locate all the I
L information.
Therefore,:no safety evaluation of the devices were performed as part of the conversion of the certificate to inactive status.
