1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Morton Thiokol, Inc., operates a radiographic inspection faci-lity in Building 7345 on Redstone Arsenal, AL, in accordance with NRC License 01-00856-02 and Sub-1334, and Army Permit P01-THD-01-01.
This facility uses encapsulated isotope sources of "special form" (10 CFR 71.4 and 71.75) as gamma sources and depleted uranium metal for shielding in a linear accele-rator X-ray machine.
Use of these radioactive materials is limited to Building 7345.
Transportation of these materials occurs only occasionally whenever an isotope source must be disposed of, replaced, inspected, modified or material con-taminated by a leaking source must be dispositioned.
On that occasion, the material is shipped to a source supplier or to a burial ground.
For shipment, the source material is packaged in a container which has a NRC Certification of Compliance (COC) (provided by a source supplier) or, for waste disposal, in a container complying with the applicable requirements (purchase for the occasion).
1.2 The purpose of this Quality Assurance Plan is to assure the safe shipment, both outgoing and incoming, of these radio-active materials in accordance with appropriate regulations.
It is written to assure that approved containers are used, that packaging in the containers is proper, instructions to all involved are proper and followed and that appropriate records are maintained.
This plan is to be supported by management and operating procedure as appropriate.
2.0 ORGANIZATION AND RESPONSIBILITIES 2.1 The final responsibility for the Quality Assurance Program for 10 CFR Part 71 rests with the management of Morton Thiokol, Inc., Huntsville Division, Huntsville, Alabama.
