w RDW 4.1 MINOR Revision 2 05-11-84 RECEIPT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL 1.0 GENERAL Packages of radioactive material delivered to PBNP must be surveyed and checked for proper packaging and labeling by HP. Packages that are to be picked up at the carrier's terminal may require HP coverage. If a package is found to exceed allowable limits for contamination or radiation, then the Health Physicist must be notified immediately.

RDW 4.1-Page 4 5.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
~5.1 The stock person shall not move or handle any package containing radioactive material shipped in a sole use (exclusive use) vehicle until it has been surveyed and released by HP.
5.2 If the package is broken or damaged, detain the carrier until the package has been surveyed and released by HP.
5.3 Use radiation protection procedures when handling radioactive materials.
5.4 Adhere to standard safety methods when lifting heavy packages.
6.0 GENERAL - RECEIPT OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL Radioactive material is normally sent to PBNP in one of four ways; on a closed transport, exclusive use vehicle; on an open transport, exclusive use vehicle; on a nonexclusive use vehicle; or in the mail if the material constitutes a limited quantity.
6.1 Limited Quantities (49 CFR 173.422) 4 No incoming survey is required for a package containing a limited quantity of radioactive material; however, the package and its contents should be checked to ensure that they meet the requirements of limited quantities as specified in RDW 5.2.
6.2 Closed Transport, Exclusive Use Vehicle 6.2.1 Radiation Limits (49 CFR 173.441)
- a. 2 mrem / hour anywhere in the driver's compartment.
- b. 1000 mrem / hour on the accessible surface of any package.
- c. 200 mrem / hour at any point on the external surface of the vehicle including the upper and lower surfaces.
- d. 10 mrem / hour at any point two meters (6.6 feet) from the verticle planes projected by the outer edges of the vehicle.

6.3.2 Removable Contamination Limits (49 CFR 173.443)
Renovable contamination limits for packages arriving on open transport, exclusive use vehicles are as stated in Section 6.2.2 above.
6.4 Nonexclusive Use Vehicles Monitoring of packages arriving on this type of vehicle must be completed within the required time period stated in Section 3.0 above. Packages which exceed the radiation limits given below require immediate notification to the NRC Office of Inspection and Enforcement in accordance with section 4.2 above.

11.0 RECEIPT OF NEW FUEL
- - 11.1 General i New fuel received at PSNP is shipped in an exclusive use vehicle; therefore, the vehicle must be surveyed before the vehicle can be unloaded. The new fuel is shipped as Fissile Class II radioactive material.
t 11.2 Procedure i
11.2.1 Perform a beta / gamma neutron and contamination survey prior i to unloading the vehicle. Count the smears for beta gamma and alpha contamination. Contact a CHP Supervisor if contamination levels exceed SMDA.
NOTE: REFER TO SECTION 6.0 ABOVE TO DETERMINE IF THE PACKAGE IS WITHIN ACCEPTABLE LIMITS.
11.2.2 New fuel containers are stored at the spent fuel pit or on El. 66' by the waste distillate tanks until they are unloaded.

, inside of the containers are smeared. Count the smears for
- j. beta / gamma and alpha contamination. A beta / gamma survey is taken of each assembly. *.
