S., Ph.D. Purdue Over 24 years health physics egggrience includinE5padiation safety for neutron sources up to 10 Ci of Pu and 200 mci Cf and respon-sibility for neutron generating facilities.
Radiation Safety Officer for broad scope by product, special nuclear material and source material licenses.
l Item 8 John C. Courtney, Ph.D. C.H.P.
Mana (1973-81)ged LSU Californium Demonstration Center for eight years where he was responsible for storing, handling, and shipping a large number of intense neutron sources. He developed the plutonium Safety Program for Argonne National Laboratory-West, and is still i
participating in plutonium safety training at that site.
He has worked with Pu-Be sources since 1960. He has published several articles related to applied radiation safety associated with handling a variety of sources including neutron emmiters.
M. L. Williams, Ph.D.
Traired as a nuclear engineer (Ph.D., University of. Tennessee 1979) with extensive experience design and analyzing reactor cones containing plutonium, and in analyzing Pu irradiation experiments.
Have used the present LSU Pu sources for neutron activation and other nuclear science experiments.
Item 9 The sources will be stored in the source stored area which is located in the basement of the Nuclear Science Center. Access to the area is through two locked doors.
Key to these doors are limited to the Radiation Safety Officer, Radiation Safety Technician, and Nuclear Science Electronics Technician. The Nuclear Science Center has an alarm system tied into campus security office. This system is active outside normal work hours of 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
tTongs'up to 6 foot 31eriithlare available for.~ manipulation;of sources. At this time there are no plans to use the sources outside the Nuclear Science Center.
Item 10 Attachment II
Item 11 Since only sealed sources will be possessed no waste will be generated.
Item 12 According to Ms. Sandy Kimberley of NRC License Fee Management Staff, the fee is waved because LSU is regulated by the State of Louisiana.

General Health Physics Instrumentation. General instruments avail-able for the Louisiana State University radiation safety program ar.c listed in the table on the two following pages.
This tabulation in-cludes all on-hand instruments which are operational or reparable, and all instruments for which purchase requisitions have been written.
Pocket dosimeters have been tabulated as a group without identification of manuf acturers or model numbers because of the variety of these dosin-eters on hand.
No indication of the locations of the instruments listed has been made.
Each major unit of the University has instrumentation appropriate to its needs, and equipment at all locations is available to any one site in the event of an emergency.
Ins trument Calibra tion. Portabic survey rcters employed for radia-tion-field measurements vhere whole-body or partial-body personnel ex-posure may occur from either gamma-emitting or neutron-emitting sources are calibrated aL ximat1 >
3 six months.
It is standard practice to calibrate a survey instrument whenever it is repaired. Records of survey meter cal-ibration are raintained by each campus Nuclear Safety Officer for the instruments on the campus. These records, and the instruments themselves, I
are subject to inspection by the System Radiation Protection Officer.

Three calibration sites have been established for the University, located at the Medical Center in New Orleans (providing service for the School of Medicine, the School of Dentistry, and the University of New Orleans), the Nuclear Science Center in Baton Rouge (providing service for all of Jthe Baton Fouge complex, and for Louisiana State University at Eunice and Louisiana State University at Alexandria), and the School of Medicine in Shreveport (providing service to the Medical School cocplex, and to Louisiana State University in Shreveport).
Survey-meter calibration is perforced with either cobalt-60 or cesium-137 sources at Baton Rouge, with cesiun-137 at Shreveport, and.
with radium-226 at New Orleans. - Source intensities are known to within 110%, based upon published specific-gamma-ray. constants ' (Radiological Health Handbook, Revised Edition,1970; p.131). For-calibration an instrument (or its radiation-sensitive. clement) is placed ' at a calcu-lated distance from the source such that the meter reading should be approximately two-thirds of full scale, ' the source-is exposed, and the actual reading.is noted.
If the observed reading deviates by more than 15% of full-scale reading, the calibration potentiometers in.the instru-ment.will be adjusted until eut acceptable meter reading is obtained.
In.
many instances -the calibration potentiometers -are adjusted to obtain the proper reading even though the 15% criterion _ is not exceeded.
For routine' survey-instrument calibration, the procedure is used to check a single point on the highest-range scale. An optional procedure.

The procedure for neutron survey-meter calibration is essentially the same as that for gamma-sensitive instruments.
Plated natural uranium sources, standardized by the supplier to within 10%, are used in checking alpha-sensitive survey meters. - The calibration usually is performed each time an instrument is used, and no records of such calibrations are raintained.
Victoreen R chanbers and Victoreen Radocon II probes are calibrated.
by the manufactiurer at approximately five-year intervals', unless there is reason to suspect improper response.
Pocket dosimeters are checked for leakage before use, and may.be checked for accuracy with a Victoreen Dosimeter Check Source. More
