Model No. 660 l Certificate of Complian;e No. 9033 '

l Revision No. 13 By application dated November 21, 1997, Amersham Corporation requested an amendment to Certificate of Compliance No. 9033 for the Model 660 series packages. The request was to modify the compensatory measures to be utilized during transport of the package by private carriage or common carrier to allow the package to be secured within either a steel drum or a steel box of welded construction.

< Certificate of Complunce No. 9033 for the Model No. 660 series packages is being amended to incorporate changes to the compensatory measures stated in the November 21, 1997 application. The certificate was amended as follows:

1. For transportation in private carriage, the package must be either:

(a) properly secured within a box attached to the vehicle for the purpose of transporting or storing radiography devices. The package must be )roperly blocked, braced, and supported to prevent shifting within tie box during transport, or (b) properly secured within a steel box of welded construction or a steel drum. The package must be aroperly blocked, braced, and supported to prevent shifting wit 11n the steel box or steel drum during transport. The steel box or drum must be blocked, braced, and secured against movement within the vehicle.

2. For transportation by common carrier, the package must be properly secured within a steel box of welded construction or a steel drum. The package must be properly blocked, braced, and supported to prevent shifting within the steel box or steel drum during transport. The steel box or steel drum must be blocked, braced and secured against movement within the vehicle.

Th9 staff anticipates that the above conditions of approval will be deleted at a future date after Amersham has submitted a revised Safety Analysis Report rhowing that the package, with any necessary design changes, meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71.
