SUBJECT:
USE OF CUSTOM RIGID GUIDE TUBES / STOPS AT CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION UNDER RECIPROCITY (1) EG&G Ltr. to NRC/Ril,9/11/97 REFS: (2) NRC IN 96-20," Demonstration of Associated Equipment..." 4/4/96 /
(3) EG&G Ltr. to NRC/Ril, S/7/96 (4) 10 CFR 34, " Licenses for industrial Radiography..." 6/27/97(Rev)
(5) ANSI N432-1980," Radiological Safety...of Apparatus for Gamma Radiography" (NBS Hndbk 136,1/81)
(6) NRC Ltr to EG&G,10/20/97 (7) EG&G Ltr to NRC/Ril,11/5/97
Dear Dr. Humbert:
Ref (1) requested that NRC grant reciprocal recognition of the Florida exemption from testing a custom radiographic accessory, based on an engineering analysis.
Ref (2) advised licensees that all radiography devices and associated equipment manufactured after 1/10/92 must meet 10 CFR 34.20 performance requirements, by 1/10/96.
Ref (3) enclosed, inter alia, a copy of an engineering analysis for rigid guide tubes / stops submitted to Florida for demonstration of compliance wiD a similar Agreement State rule.
Ref (4) under 10 CFR 34.20(a)(2), (b)(5) & (c)(8) permits an engineering analysis of guide tube performance to withstand crushing and kinking and tension, to demonstrate compliance with Ref (5).
Ref (6) requested another copy of the engineering analysis, since ou. earlier copy may have been archived in 10/96, following termination of your NRC license in 1994. \
Ref (7) enclosed the requested copy, and upon review, we concur with the engineering analysis
. previously accepted by Florida We hereby grant reciprocal recognition for use of the subject guide tubo / stops at Cape Ca' averal Air Station, an area remaining under NRC jurisdiction, subject to using the EG&G procedures for testing the devics prior to use. We be!ieve the safety gains of use to be acceptable, and the likelihood of kinking or bending to be low.
