MINUTES OF MEETING WITH GRAYSTAR, Inc.
l MAY 11,199gubLIC 00Cl! MENT ROOM w n -a Representatives of GrayStar, Inc., presented a briefing to the NRC staff on May 11.1999, to describe the principles and operation of their irradiator design. The b,iefing was a follow-up to GrayStar's application, submitted in April 1999, for approval of the irradiator as a sealed source and device under 10 CFR 36. Mssrs. Martin Stein, President /CEO and Russell Stein. VP of GrayStar gave the presentation.
The presentation addressed the following issues:
)
the need for food irradiators, bacteriological issues, consumer acceptance issues; a
reasons for selecting Cs-137 as source material; j
source construction (e.g. plugs) and testing; device construction, modes of operation, safety features; concepts and plans for source and device fabrication.
a The NRC particirants outlined to the GrayStar representatives that GrayStar must also request an application for approval as a transportation container under 10 CFR 71. NRC commenters pointed out that, for an efficient technical review, the Pt. 71 application should completed first, or conducted concurrently with a Pt. 36 evaluation, because the transportation criteria may represent the bounding conditions; the need for an environmental assessment will be determined later.
A set of the presentation slides is attached.
