REGISTRY OF RADIOACTIVE SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES SAFETY EVALUATION OF SEALED SOURCE NO.: NR-300-S-852-S DATE: OCT 21 1998 PAGE 2 OF 6 SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Radiography Source Assembly DESCRIPTION:
The Gamma industries Model "B" series source assemblies are designed for use in Budd Company and Automation industries exposure devices, as shown in the attached pigtail selection chart (Limitations and/or Other Considerations of Use section).
The first charact'er in the source model designation indicates that the source assembly is designed f; use in one of these devices. The second character is a ccle for the dimension of the source assembly. The third (last) character in the source model number designates the type of connector. "A" indicates a Gamma Industries long Saf-T-Key connector, "T" indicates a Tech-Ops connector, "C" indicates a Budd (clevis) connector, and "G" indicates a Gamma industries short Saf-T-Key connector.
Iridium sources have a single encapsulation, while the Cobalt sources have double encapsulation. Single encapsulation may use either an end-cap or side-weld. Double encapsulation will use only an end-cap weld, and all encapsulation is accomplished using a Heliarc (TIG) welding technique. Sources are encapsulated in either Type 304 or 316 stainless steel. Capsule wall thickness is maintained at a minimum of 0.030" (0.76 mm). The connector, locking ball, and source capsule are crimped to 3/32" (2.38 mm) diameter stainless steel cable except for the Automation Model 520. Overall pigtail dimensional tolerance is plus or minus 1/16" (1.59 mm).
LABELING:
The source capsules are not large enough to allow direct labeling; however, the exposure device which contains the source capsule is labeled. For additional labeling information, please refer to the particular exposure device in which the source is to be used.

E The Gamma? Industries Model "B" series source assemblies,are I designed-for use in the Budd Company and Automation Industries I industrial radiography exposure devices shown in the pigtail 1 I
~ selection' chart. l The "B"' series source assembly consists of a single or double encapsulated universal capsule. The manufacturer states that sprototype' sources have met the criteria specified in ANSI !
publication N542-1977 and have a classification of ANSIE77E43515.
This ' source series- also has Eul 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.
! PROTOTYPE TESTING:
For information concerning prototype testing, please see the "Abilityfof1 Sealed Source to Withstand Loss of Containment Under Abnormal Conditions."
EXTERNAL RADIATION LEVELS:
The dose rate:for Iridium-192 is 5.9-R/hr per Curie at 1 foot ll (3 0. 4 8 cm) . The dose rate'for Cobalt-60 is'14.4 R/hr per Curie j
' at11 ' foot . (3 0. 48 cm) .

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:
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 sealed in the capsule. If the results of the wipe test are doubtful, then a hot water bubble test 1is performed. No source will be shipped if removable contamination exceeds 0.005 microcurie (185-Bq). Source activities are checked against a standard by using an ion chamber. A decay chart and source tag are supplied with each source, providing information concerning the activity and leak test results.
LIMITATIONS AND/OR OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF USE:
. Series "B" sources shall be possessed and used by specific licensees of the U.S. NRC or Agreements States.
. Series "B" sealed sources shall not b'e subjected to environmental or'other conditions of use which exceed ANSI classification 77E43515.
. Series "B" sources shall be leak tested at intervals not to exceed six (6)' months using techniques approved by the licensing authority.and capable'of detecting at least
. 0.005 microcurie (185 Bq) of removable contamination.
. Series "B" source assembly shall b'e used only in the
~
following radiographic exposure devices:
. Handling, storage,;use, transfer, and disposal: To be determined by the" licensing authority.
. This registration sheet ~and the information contained within the references shall not be changed without the written consent of the NRC.

SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
l The Model "B". Series sources are no longer manufactured or j
} distributed by Gamma Industries, Inc. and Gamma Industries, Inc. )
is'no longer.in business. Therefore, the registration I certificate is being converted to an inactive registration j certificate.

' SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
'(Cont'd):
2 The sources were originally.' approved forflicensing purposes by
~
the Louisiana Di' vision of Radiation' Control. NRC attempted to obtain copies of all~'information submitted'by the registrant in i
. support of the evaluation. !However, NRC could not locate all the information. Therefore, no safety evaluation of the sources was performedfas part of the conversion of the certificate to inactive' status.
