Industrial Radiography Source Assembly RESCRIPTION:
The Gamma Industries Model."IN" series source assemblies are
' designed for use only in the Industrial Nuclear, Model' IR-100, exposure-device.
The first two characters in the source model designation indicates that the source assemblies are designed for use in Industrial Nuclear exposure devices.
The middle character (numeral) is a code for the dimension of the source assembly.
The third (last) character =in the source model number designates the. type of connector.
A" indicates the Gamma Industries long saf-T-Key connector, "G"
indicates the Gamma Industries short Saf-T-Key, "T"~ indicates the Tech-Ops connector and "TG" is the shorter' Gamma industries. version of the Tech-Op connector.
All' iridium sources are' doubly encapsulated.
The minimum wall
. thickness of is 0.030" (0.76 mm).
All source capsules are fabricated the outer encapsulation from Type 304 or 316 stainless
. steel using a heliarc (TIG) welding technique with end-cap or side circumferential weld method for capsule closure.
The pigtail. connector, source. capsule, and locking ball on all source assemblies are. crimped either to 3/16" (4. 76 rmn) Tel'eflex cable or11/8" (3.18 mm) stainless cable.. Pigtail dimensional
' tolerances are. maintained at.r 1/16" (i 1.59 mm).
l LABELING:
sThe~ source capsules are not large enough to allow direct labeling; however, the exposure device which contains the source
' capsule'isilabeled.
For: additional labeling information, please refer to the particular' exposure device in which the source is to be-used.

SEP 141998 PAGE 3 OF 5 SOURCE TYPE:
Industrial Radiography Source Assembly DIAGRAM See attachment 1.
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:
The Gamma Industries Model IN-1-T, IN-1-TG, IN-1-A and IN-1-G source assemblies are designed for use in the Industrial Nuclear Model IR-100 industrial radiography exposure device.
These source assemblies may be used with the Gamma Industries Model C-10 source changer.
PROTOTYPE TESTINGr The "IN" series source assembly uses a doubly encapsulated universal capsule.
The manufacturer states that prototype sources have met the criteria specified in ANSI publication N542-1977 and have been assigned a classification of ANSI 77E43515.
This source series.also has an IAEA Certificate of Competent Authority, Special Form Radioactive. Material. Encapsulation, Certificate Number USA /0166/S, Revision 1.
Based on prototype test data, these designs are expected to retain containment integrity under accident conditions most likely to occur during normal use or transportation.

l OUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:
i L
- In addition to the other tests, each pigtail assembly is subjected to a 180 lb. (81.65 kg) pull test prior to radioactive
- material insertion and subjected to a wipe test after the material'is se.21ed in the capsule.
If'the results of the wipe
- test indicates contamination greater than 0.001 pCi (37 Bq) then an ethylene glycol bubble test is performed.
If the bubble test is positivo, then the; capsule is reworked or disposed of, as applicable.
Source activities are checked against a standard by using an ion chamber.
A decay chart and' source tag are supplied with each source; p*oviding'information concerning the activity r
L l
and leak test.results..
i LIMITATIONS AND/OR OTHER' CONSIDERATIONS OF'USE:
A.
Series "IN" sources shall;be distributed only to specific
_3 licensees of thetU.S.-Nuclear Regulatory-Commission or Agreement States.
~
B.
' Series'"IN": sealed sources shall not be subjected to environmental or other conditionsJof use which exceed ANSI classification 77E43515.
C.N~. Series "IN" sources shall be leak tested at intervals not to exceed sin' months using techniques approved by the licensing authority and capable of detectihg at least 0.005 microcurie

SAFETY EVALU/JfION The'Model'"IN" Series source is no l'onger manufactured'or distributed by Gamma Industries, Inc. and Gamna Industries, Inc.
-is'no longer'in business.
Therefore, the registration
(
certificate'is being converted to an inactive registration certificate.
- The source was 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 support of the evaluation.
However, NRC could not locate all the information.
Therefore, no safety evaluation of the source was performed as:part of the conversion of the certificate to inactive status.
