APPROVAL. RECORD Hodel No. C 8 Package Certificate of Compliance No. 9128 Revision No. 7 By application dated November 6,1995, as supplemented, Amersham Corporation
'equested renewal of Certificate of Compliance No. 9128 for the Model No. C 8 package. No cha'vjes in package design or contents were requested. Condition 5(b)(2) of the certificate has been revised to specify that the source strength is given in output curies, consistent with American National Standard N432-1980.
Sections on operating 3rocedures, acceptance tests and maintenance program were reviewed and found to >e adequate. The certificate has been conditioned to require that the Jackage be prepared for shipment, operated and maintained in acenrdance with tie procedures in the supplements dated August 19, 1996, and May 21, 1997.
Amersham does not desire to fabricate additional units of the Model No. C 8 package, and the Safety Analysis Report and the certificate drawings did not specify codes, standards, and procedures for fabrication of the package. The amended certificate retains the previous condition which precludes use of packaging fabricated 6fter January 31, 1991.
The certificate has been renewed for a five year term which expires on December 31, 2002.
