PAGE 2 OF 5 DEVICE TYPE: Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set DESCRIPTION:
The CDV-757 consists of a_ shielded gamma ray source, a Geiger tube radiation detector, a regulated high-voltage supply for the Geiger tube, a signal pulse-shaping amplifier feeding into a log count rate nater circuit, a count rate indicating meter, regulated low-voltage suppliers for the counting circuit, and a loudspeaker system for simultaneous audible counting activity indication.
In' addition to the basic components, the CDC-757 also includes a giant auditorium-sized count rate indicator which is operated by a servo-motor driven, null-seeking system slaved to the count rate indicating meter.
The CDV-757 also includes a five-watt public address amplifier, microphone, and two remote speakers.
The gamma ray source furnished as part of the CDV-757 is a one millicurie Cs-137 (37 MBq) sealed source mounted in a steel-jacketed lead-shielded housing.
The shield is constructed with a removable shielding plug fitted to the gamma beam exit which gives the operator effective "on-off" control of a collimated beam of gamma rays from the beam port.
When the exit port plug is in place, the radiation level which escapes from the shield is only slightly greater than natural backgrounu radiation.
The source is threaded into the small end of a flanged, lead-filled, nickel-plated brass plug.
The plug is inserted into a fitted hole which positions the source at the center of the spherical shield and aligns the source opposite the beam exit port.
The flange on the source holder is secured to the bottom of the steel shell of the shield with screws and the screw heads are then concealed by an adhesive-backed aluminum disc.
The unit is a heavy-gauge aluminum box 12 in. x 12 in. x 5 in.
(30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 12.7 cm) with the bottom open.
The 12 in. x 12 in. ( 3 0. 5 cm x 3 0. 5 cm) closed side forms the work deck of the demonstrator and is covered with a heavily-ribbed vinyl rubber mat to protect the metal surface.
The under side of l
the deck is heavily reinforced for rigidity and also serves as a l
mounting support for the heavy source shield.
One corner of the i
deck has a grommeted, indexed hole which receives the pointed end of the Geiger tube support arm and correctly orients the detector with respect to the radiation beam exit port, located in the center of the deck.
A second grommet on a bracket below the deck prevents the detector arm from wobbling.
Hand cut-outs are provided on two sides for ease in lifting and carrying the base unit.

PAGE 3 OF 5 DEVICE TYPE: Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set DESCRIPTION: (Cont.)
The' Barrier Shielding Demonstrator set comes packed in two laminated fiber shipping / storage containers, each of which is "one-man" portable.
The instrument console, base unit with source, microphone, detector arm and cable, and the remote indicator cable are housed in one container.
Also included is the maintenance and instruction manual, a copy of the text for the lecture-demonstration, and a 25 foot (7.62 m) extension power cord.
The second container contains the remote indicator, remote speakers, barrier shielding material samples, indicator-base strut, detector arm extension tube, and a set of magnetic marker buttons for use with the remote indicator.
Each shipping case is fitted with a lockable padlock hasp to i
prevent tampering.
DIAGRAM:
See attachments 1 and 2.
LABELING:
The manufacturer reported that the outside of the base unit is labeled to show that it contains radioactive material.
The label displays the magenta and yellow radiation symbol with the legend
" Caution, Radioactive Material," followed by the designation of the isotope (Cs-137), the activity, the date of measurement, chemical form, and the radiation level outside the container
(<0.1 mR/hr (< 1 Sv/hr) at one foot (30.5 cm)).
The same information is also marked on the outer surface of the source shield mounted inside the base unit.
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:
The Model CDV-757 Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set is designed to provide the materials and equipment required to present a short lecture and demonstration on the use of common materials as barrier shielding against fallout radiation.
REGISTRY OF RADIOACTIVE SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES SAFETY EVALUATION OF DEVICE NO.-
NR-8095-D-804-S DATE: OCT 0 71998 PAGE 4 OF 5 DEVICE TYPE: Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set EXTERNAL RADIATION LEVEL:
FEMA provided information which indicated that with the device open the maximum radiation levels at distances of 0.5 in (1.27 cm) and 12 in (30.5 cm) above the open port do not exceed 35 mR/hr (0.35 mSv/hr) and 1.5 mR/hr (0. 015 mSv/hr),
respectively.
Also, FEMA reported that the maximum radiation levels at the surface of the device (closed) do not exceed 0.4 mR/hr (4.0 pSv/hr) in the middle of the platform and 0.35 mR/hr (3.5 pSv/hr) at the bottom of the platform.

' DEVICE TYPE: Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
This model had been previously. deemed acceptable for licensing 1
purposes by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC).
This registry i
was generated from data contained in NUDOCS and FEMA's license (08-01297-06).
Based on the review of the Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set and the information cited in the references, we continue to conclude that this device is acceptable for specific licensing.
J Furthermore, we continue to conclude that this device would be expected to maintain its" containment integrity for normal conditions of use and accidental conditions which might occur during uses specified in the certificate.

NRC License No.. 08-01297-06 Docket No.- 030-7130
Dear Mr. Baggett,
The Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) made the decision to close the National Instrumentation Center (NIC) at the Mt. Weather Emergency Assistance Center (MWEAC), Bluemont, Virginia, effective August 15, 1996.
Radioactive Sources in the possession of FEMA at the NIC are in temporary storage, awaiting either the transfer to a properly licensed recipient or disposed of as radioactive waste.
The licensed recipient who possess radioactive sources owned by FEMA will'either retain possession of the sources, or dispose of 3
them'as radioactive waste.
Due to the closure of the NIC, it is requested that the following registry numbers in our License-be given inactive status:
NR-283-D-101-S NR-283-S-102-S NR-283-D-105-S 1
NR-283-D-106-S NR-283-D-110-S NR-283-D-111-S i
The following registry. numbers are inactive:
NR-283-D-801-S NR-283-D-802-S NR-283-D-803-S It-is anticipated that the annual fees for the devices covered by each registry number will be frozen for FY 1998.
-We'.are currently in the process of reconciling and updating our computerized inventory Radioactive Materials (RAM) Data-Base to reflect what we currently own and possess and what radioactive material and devices.have been transferred to licensed recipients or disposed of as. radioactive waste.
When completed,'we will provide you with.an updated inventory.

Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set DESCRIPTION:
The CDV-757 consists.of a shielded gamma ray source, a geiger tube radiation detector, a regulated high-voltage supply for the geiger tube, a signal pulse-shaping amplifier feeding into a log count rate meter circuit, a count rate indicating meter, j
regulated low-voltage suppliers for the counting circuits, and a loudspeaker system for simultaneous audible counting activity indication.
In addition to the basic components, the CDV-757 i
also includes a giant auditorium-sized count rate indicator which is operated by a servo-motor driven, null-seeking system slaved to the count rate indicating meter.
The CDV-757 also includes a five-watt public add'.:ess amplifier, microphone, and two remote speakers.
l is a one l
The gamma ray" source furnished as part of the CDV-757 millicurie Cs ' sealed source mounted in a steel-jacketed lead-shielded housing.
The shield is constructed with a removable shielding plug fitted to the gamma beam exit which gives the operator effective "on-off" control of a collimated beam of gamma rays from the beam port.
When the exit port plug is in place, the radiation level which escapes from the shield is orly slightly greater than natural background radiation.
The source is threaded into the small end of a flanged, lead-filled, nickel-plated brass plug.
The plug is inserted into a fitted hole which positions the source at the center of the spherical shield and j
aligns the source opposite the beam exit port.
The flanga on the source holder is secured to the bottom of the steel shell of the shield with screws and the screw heads are then concealed by an adhesive-backed aluminum disc.
The unit'is a heavy-gauge aluminum box 12 in. x 12 in. x 5.5 in.
(30.5 cm x 30.5 cm x 14.0 cm) with the bottom open.
The 12 in. x 12 in. (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) closed side forms the work deck of the demonstrator and is covered with a heavily-ribbed vinyl rubber mat to protect the metal surface.
The under side of the deck is heavily reinforced for rigidity and also serves as a mounting support for the heavy source shield.
One corner of the deck has a grommeted, indexed hole which receives the pointed end of the geiger tube support arm and correctly orients the detector with respect to the radiation beam exit port, located in the center of the deck.
A second grommet on a bracket below the deck prevents

Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set DESCRIPTION (Continued) the detector arm from wobbling.
Hand cut-outs are provided on two sides for ease in lifting and carrying the base unit.
The Barrier snieldir.g Demonstrator Set comes packed in two laminated fiber shipping / storage containers, each of which is "one-man" portable.
The instrument console, base unit, microphone, detector arm and cable, and the remote indicator cable are housed in the box.
Also included is the maintenance and inrtruction manual, a copy of the text for the lecture-demonstration, and a 25 foot extension power cord.
The second case contains the remote indicator, remote speakers, barrier shielding material samples, indicator-base strut, detector arm extension tube, and a set of magnetic marker buttons for use with the remote indicator.
Each shipping case is fitted with a lockable padlock hasp to prevent tampering.
DIAGRAM:
See Attachments 1 and 2 LABELING:
The manuf acturer reported that the ot iside of the base unit is labeled to show that it contains radioactive material.
The label displays the magenta and yellow radiation symbol with the legend
" Caution, Radioactive Material," followed by the designation of the isotope (Cs"'), the activity, the date of measurement, chemilal form, and the radiation level outside the container
(<0.1 mR/hr at one foot).
The same information is also marked on the auter surface of the source shield mounted inside the base unit.
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:
The Model CDV-757 Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set is designed to provido the materials and equipment required to present a i
I short lecture and demonstration on the use of common materials as barrier shielding against fallout radiation.

Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
This model has been previously deemed acceptable for licensing purposes by the AEC.
This registry was generated from data contained in NUDOCS and FEMA's license (08-01297-06).
Based on the review of the Barrier Shielding Demonstrator Set and the information cited in the references, we continue to conclude that this device is acceptable for specific licensing.
Furthermore, we continue to concluce that this device would be expected to maintain its containment integrity for normal conditions of use and accidental conditions which might occur during uses specified in the certificate.
REFERENC2S:
The following supporting documents for the device are hereby incorporated by reference and are made a part of this termination registry document:
