SUBJECT:

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR USE OF CUSTOM RIGID GUIDE TUBES / STOPS AT CAPE CANAVERAl. AIR FORCE STATION UNDER RECIPROCITY

Dear Dr. Humbert:

This refers to your letter dated September 11, 1997, which requests that NRC grant the same exemption to NRC regulations in 10 CFR 34.20 as that granted by the State of Florida. The specific exemption granted by the State of Florida was to their regulations requiring testing of devices in accordance with American Nati il Standards Institute (ANSI) N432-1980

Radiological Safety for the Design and Construction of Apparatus for Gamma Radiography.'

While it is within the purview of the State of Florida to grant such an exemption within the context of the Florida State regulations, it remains appropriate for NRC to use its rules contained in 10 CFR 34.20. The rules specify:

" Engineering analyses may be submitted by an applicant or licensee to demonstrate the applicability of previously performed testing on similar individual radiography equipment components. Upon review, the Commission may find this is an acceptable alternative to actual testing of the component pursuant to the referenced standard."

The State of Florida accepted your request for exemption from the Florida rules. In your request to the State of Florida. no engineering analyses were 3 resented. Your request to NRC does not contain sufficient information that 4RC could evaluate for suitability of the rigid guide tube /stop device as an alternative to actual testing.

Should you-wish to pursue this issue, please be aware that we shall submit the request-to our Sealed Source Safety Section at Rockville. Maryland. Prior to submittal to that office, we will evaluate the reouest to determine that the request meets the requested information in Information Notice 95-58: "10 CFR 34.20: Final Effective Date. The Information Notice (enclosed) states that exemptions may be considered only for limited special or unique cases where the licensee can demonstrate that the engineered safety features, use limitations and procedures would compensate for not meeting the requirements and afford similar or increased radiation safety protection. In presenting information.-please address the particulars of the information Notice.

EG&G Florida. Inc. 2 If you have any questions please call me at 404/562-4735, or send a facsimile to 404/562-4955.

Sincerely.

i ATT Mr. Walter L. Cofer, PHP III, HSERM i AUTHORIEATION TO USE CUSTON RIGID GUIDE TUBES / STOPS REF: 1) State of Florida, Office of Radiation i Control Ltr. dtd. June 4, 1996 l

2) State of Florida Radioactive Materials License Number 1219-1 Enclosed is the response to your request for additional information in the consideration of authorizing use of custom fabricated rigid source guide tubes. In response to our telecon of August 29, 1996, rationale supporting EG&G NDE's '

recommendations for the type and frequency of equipment functional tests is addressed. The attached operating and '

emergency procedures have been revised, as requested, to provide specific instructions for radiographers to perform a daily inspection of the rigid source guide tube each shift prior i to use. A visual and functional test will be conducted with an inert source to assure the source and drive cable assembly travel. smoothly through the source guide tube (s), connections and return to the exposure device stored position without binding <

or application of excsssive force. The rigid guide tubes will be labeled or tagged with instructions to test the tube prior to.use. <

EG&G recommends rigid guide tube inspections to be perfortued once each shift prior to use or at any other time the condition of the equipment may become suspect. The inspection should normally be conducted prior to transporting the equipment to a remote field I site to assure marginal or unacceptable equipment is tagged and i removed from service. This is in accordance with manufacturers' prescribed daily maintenance checks for isotope projection-

. equipment and EG&G NDE's current practice. Checking equipment >

prior to transporting to the job site reduces any temptation to use questionable equipment, plus-it eliminates the need to transport training devices or "dummya sources to field sites.

-The concerns posed with using~a_ dummy source for each setup prior to actual source exposure are numerous. First of all, it would

-w -e e r v--g-,- g* w - - - - - * %

. . l l

i require twice as many setups which doubles the time personnel l aro working and the time a restricted area is established. This- !

could pose significant impacts to productivity, accelerate !

personnel fatigue and decrease equipment longevity. In addition, other operations scheduled in the area may be delayed or effected i j

by the extended times. Radiography operations are often conducted in areas which pose other safety hazards such as r working at heights, in or adjacent _to toxic materials or in !

confined spaces. The fact that most iield radiography is accomplished at night or during other than normal working hours !

is sufficient to conclude that personnel would be subjected to j increased and unwarranted safety risks. !

l The material and design of the-proposed rigid source guide tubes- ~

makes them inherently less susceptible to kinking or crushing j damage than flexible source guide tubes. Use of rigid source

- guide tubes also eliminates the potential for problems to occur-. I in source retraction due to excessive bends sometimes encountered ,

with flexible guide tubes. Although , the proposed rigid source guide-tube design has not been tested in accordance with the -

requirements of ANSI N432-1980, it is believed that the design, -

materials and fabrication process demonstrate through previously-submitted engineering analysis that the product exceeds the performance standards desired by ANSI. s Based on the previously submitted engineering analysis, the i socioeconomic factors addressed above and the implementation of 4 additional equipment inspection measures, EG&G Florida requests exemption of the rigid source guide tubes from 10D-91.5031(6) (g)

FAC_ requirements. It_ appears likely, in view of the industries expressed concern, that the USNRC will also make special ,

provisions-for associated equipment to relieve the burden currently imposed by their interpretation and application of :

the regulations.

If there are any questions concerning the above, please contact tlus undersigned at (407) 867-2025 or R. E. Nickell at (407) 867-3540. .

CONCURRENCE TO UTILIZE FABRICATED GAMM A SOURCE GUIDE TUDE / STOP ,

REFRS: 'l)'10D-91.5031. F. A C. " State of Florida Control of Radiation Hazard Regulations"

2) ll lFR 34.20 "USNRC Rules and Regulations" EG&G Florida, Inc. requests concurrence to use rigid source guide tubes / stops designed and --

manufactured in accordance with the attached design package when conducting isotope radiography under license number 12191. The equipment design, mechanical tests and functional use demonstrate compliance with 10D-91.5031/10CFR 34.20 and the requirements of the referenced specification, ANSI N432-1980.-

EG&G Florida, Inc., as the Base Operations Contractor to the National Aeronautics imd Space Administration (NASA), has the responsibility of providing radiography support in the evaluation of flight hardware and critical ground support equipment at the Kennedy Space Center and the

' Cape Canaveral Air Station. The performance of mission critical tasks are ollen dependent upon providing timely nondestruedve evaluation (NDE) support, such as radiography. In a time where safety, quality and productivity we all absolutely essential in the continued existence of the nation's space program, it is imperative we do everything in our power to maintain the highest of standards.

It is with this in mind tiiat EG&G requests an expeditious review and response to the stated request.' Delays or failure to respond in a timely manner will place EG&G Florida, Inc. and

. NASA in a position of considering options that will result in significant increases in program

" costs, reductions in product quality, pose poteatial impacts to mission milestones and subject

- radiography personnel to unnecessary radiation exposure.

As an example; pressure vessel radiography initially conducted with a rigid guide tube / stop, utilized a centerlined,80 curie, Ir 192 source. The same vessel without the use of a rigid source guide tube / stop would now have to employ a 65 curie Co 60 source placed on the outside of the vessel. The Co 60 technique would increase the distance to the restricted area perimeter approximately fourfold (with a collimator), each exposure increases from filleen (15) minutes to one hundred (100) minutes, and each weld joint would now require seven (7) exposures vs. one (1) exposure. The increase in the restricted area would require an additional person to safely monitor the area. The increase in duration and number of exposures would result in expending about 4500 man hours for twelve (12) vessels, where otherwise, the same work could be accomplished with less than 400 man hours. Radiographers would be subjected to seven (7) times the number of exposures as required when using a centerlined source and the levels of radiation would be much higher. The pressure vessel radiography example is not hypothetical. It is real and a current NDE backlog.

Although revie'w of 10D-91, F.A.C., does not reveal a requirement to submit documentation for approval of associated equipment prior to use, in view of the emphasis placed on the subject by the USNRC (IN 95-58) and their direction, it is believed to be advisable. EG&G Florida, Inc.

would appreciate your immediate attention to the request for concurrence to continue use of the subject equipment. If possible, verbal consent or acknowledgment would be desired to convey interim agreement to continue to use the equipment.

if there are any questions concerning the above, please contact the undersigned at (407) 867-2025 or R.E. Nickell at (407) 867-3540.

The review or engineering analysis was conducted to assess the equipment design and function for compliance to requirements speciDed by the USNRC (10 CFR 34.20) and the FSDilRS (FAC 10D-91.5031), in each case, the regulations refer to compliance with the provisions contained in ANSI N432-1980, " Radiological Safety for the Design and Construction of Apparatus for Gamma Radiography" The purpose and function of the cigid source guide tube / end stop is to provide a means for containing and positioning the radioactive source pigtail and drise cable assembly at a predetermined distance within a pressure v:ssel. When attached to a Hexible source guide tube, the rigid source tube can be inserted through narrow apertures and supported in the pr,:ssure vessel to accommodate panoramic radiography techniques. The application of panoramic radiography techniques facilitates the use oflower energy radiation sources, shorter exposure times, less exposures and reduced radiation levels outside the vessel. This technique promotes ALARA principals for personnel t.xposure and provides an increased measure of safety by eliminating the need for heavy collimators and several Dexible source guide tubes. Ileavy collimators have been the cause of many radiography incidents reported in the Nuclear Licensing Reports prepared by the USNRC and Agreement States.

Although, .he use of a rigid source tube involves guiding the source to a predetermined point, the primary function of the tube is source containment and end stop. The design, materials and ftmetion of the equipment would more likely dictate it bc tienned as an exposure head or end cap rather than a guide tube. EG&G NDE believes the intent of the regula: ions for kinking and crushing tests specified for source guide tubes was for Ocxible tubes not rigid tubes. T he design, materials, and fabrication process employed by EG&G in the production of rigid source tubr.s would indicate that ANSI kinking tests are not applicable and the crushing test to simula'e the force applied by the heel of a walking man would not result in tubing deformation. Therefore, EG&G NDE believed the tr.nsile test for exposure heads or end caps specified by the regulations would be the more ap9ropriate method for evaluating rigid source tube integrity.

use mw a a mav m enevous eonoss ws cesant

Several methods and parameters are addressed in ANSI N432-1980 (8.7) for control unit tensile tests. Ilowever, the maximum applied force is one thousand Newton (1000 N) for ten (10) seconds. The force applied appears to simulate that of a man pulling against the control cable while the opposite end is secured. Rather than incur the expense of obtaining special fixtures and instrumentation for conducting similar tension tests, EG&G clected to utilize equipment available at the NASA KSC hiaterials Science Department. Tensile spucimens simulating the rigid source tube design, materials and fabrication process were subjected to tension loads until failure. The result of the tests far exceeded the minimum reqcirements stated previously. Ultimate failure of the specimens occurred in the parent metal under load exceeding a force of twentyfive thousand Newton (25,000 r4 The procedures for fabricating rigid source guide tubes, NOE 3.40, and excerpts from the KSC SPC-DOC Welding hianual for procedure qualifications specific to the design joints are enclosed, along with the tensile test results for review.

!!ased on the testing information addressed and the fact that utilization of similar fabricated rigid source tubes at KSC have resulted in in pmve<1 safety with radiography operations, EG&G NDE submits that the requirements set forth in the USNRC and FSDilRS regulations for such equipment has been complied with.
