PAGE 2 OF 4 SEALED SOURCE TYPE: Radiography Source Assembly DESCRIPTION:

The Model D series source assemblies are designed for use in the Sinco Testing Model DU-100P exposure device.

The third (last) character in the source model designation indicates the type of

{

connector; the "G". indicates the short (old) saf-t-key connector, while t's.e "R" indicates the radionics or "T-BAR" connector.

The source is singly encapsulated in either 304 or 316 stainless steel.

The seal weld may be performed using an end cap weld, or a side circumferential weld, either of which are accomplished using a heliarc welding technique.. Capsule wall thickness is maintained at a minimum of 0.030" (0.76 mm).

Those pigtails furnished with the "R"

connector use 3/32" (2.38 mm) diameter stainless steel-cables while those furnished with the "G" connector use 1/8" (3.18 mm) diameter.

Pigtail length tolerances are held to 11/16" (11.59 mm).

1 PROTOTYPE TESTING:

These sources have a classification of E32515 as described in ANSI publication N5.10-1968. The manufacturer states that prototype source assemblies have met the test criteria specified in the ANSI document.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:

Each " pigtail" assembly is subjected to a 100 lb. ( 45.36 kg) pull' test prior to radioactive material insertion, and is subjected to a contamination wipe test after the material is sealed in the capsule.

If the wipe test indicates contamination, then a hot water bubble test will be performed.

SAFETY ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

The Model

  • D" Series source is 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 registration certificate.

' SAFETY ANALYSIS

SUMMARY

'(Cont'd):

The source was originally approved for licensing purposes _by the Louisiana Divis, ion'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.
