REGISTRY OF RADIOACTIVE SEALED SOURCES AND DEVICES SAFETY EVALUATION OF DEVICE NO,: NR-8105-D-803-S DATE: Jamlary 5,1999 PAGE 2 OF 2 DEVICE TYPE: Calibration Device DESCRIPTION:

Except for the labeling, this unit is identical with Industrial i Reactor Laboratories Model 1000, calibrator, and was manufactured l by Industrial Reactor Laboratories, Inc. l SAFETY EVALUATION:

The Model 1000 is no longer manufactured or distributed by ThermoRetec and ThermoRetec has no intention to produce them any more in the future. Therefore, the registration certificate is being converted to an inactive registration certificate.

)

The device was originally approved for licensing purposes by the i State of New Mexico. This certificate was recently returned to the NRC. Because of the liuited information available on this unit, no safety evaluation of the device was performed as part of the conversion of the certificate to inactive status.

Dear Mr. Vigil:

The Environment Department of the State of New Mexico relinquished its authority to conduct sealed source and device evaluations earlier this year and transferred this function to the U.S.

Nuclear regulatory Commission. With this transfer, the State of New Mexico had sent to NRC eighteen registration certificates (five devices and thirteen sources).

The meeting was held at ThermoRetec office on December 16,1998 to discuss these products' current status. At the end of meeting, you requested six registration certificates shown in the Table 1 be transferred to inactive status by the fact that these devices and source are no longer manufactured by ThermoRetec and ThermoRetec does not have any intention to produce them in the future.

Please review the registration certificates (copy enclosed) in its entirety and notify us immediately if there are any errors or omissions.

Further, please note that in accordance with NUREG-1556, Volume 3, Section 5.1.1,

" Calibration and Reference Standards", calibration and reference sources, that do not exceed certain limits, may be licensed without review by IMNS and issuance of a registration certificate.

The twelve sources listed in Table 2 meet this criteria. Therefore, the NRC is removing these sources registrations from the Sealed Source and Device Registry. It is our understanding that none of these sources are listed on any known licenses, therefore, removal of the registration certificates should not pose any problem.

if you have any questions call me at (301) 415-5787 or Ms. Michele Burgess at (301) 415-5868.
