! I FIREX SMOKE DETECTOR '

I RADIATION SAFETY PRODUCTION MODEL i TESTING i I

A preproduction ponents modelbyofFirex manufactured the basic was received. smoke detector with final design com-following set of tests in August, 1977. This detector was given the I

- As received Contamination and Radiation Level.

Smear tests of the outer surf aces were taken and counted in a low background windowless gas flow proportional counter. Counts were '

taken of both alpha particle and beta particle contamination. The alpha background runs about one count per hour and the beta back-ground 28 i 8 counts per minute, which puts the alpha detection e I

level at about 2 x 10-8microcuries. Initial external gamma measure-ments were made with a vibrating reed ionization chamber detector (Victoreen 440). Background level with this instrument tends to be i about 0.2 mR/hr in our laboratory limiting the survey sensitivity to levels greater than 0.1 mR/hr at an inch.

II - Shock and Impact Test.

The shock test consists of five drops f rom a height of two (2) meters onto a concrete slab. This is followed by surface wipe test and visual inspection.

i III - Immersion Test The device is immersed in Methanol for a period of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> with periodic agitation.

Following this the entire volume is evaporated and the residue counted in the gas flow proportional counter.

IV - Low Background Gamma Exposure Rate Determination The smoke detector was placed with its source at 6 cm from the center of a 3"x3" NaI (Tl) detector in a copper shield in a 6" lead shield of a low background scintillation spectrometer with a nuclear data 512 channel pulse height analyzer. From this data was calculated the dose rate at 5 and 25 cm from the front face of the smoke de-tector.

FIREX SMOKE DETECTOR

. RADIATION SAFETY PRODUCTION MODEL TESTING V- High Temperature Test

  • The detector is subjected to 1000 F for an hour. The furnace is preheated to temperature and the detector,  !

enclosed in a stainless steel closed beaker, is placed inside. The temperature is allowed to rise to furnace temperature and maintained for an hour. Following this, the beaker is removed from the furnace and allowed to cool to room temperature in air. Wipe samples are taken of the furnace carrier and the detector ion chamber.

Finally the ion chamber is dismantled and the source checked directly with wet leak test.

l TEST RESULTS ON PRODUCTION MODEL AUGUST, 1977 I -As received Contamination and Radiation Level Net alpha count of 0 counts per minute not significantly different from background.

Net beta and alpha count of 28.4 1 6 counts per minute is not significantly different from Beta background of 28 counts per minute.

Gamma level less than 0.1 mR/hr at 1" with vibrating reed air ion chamber .

II -Shock Test The smoke detector held up reasonably well under shock test of 2 meter drop onto concrete.

The result of the first six drops were only slight cosmetic imperfections on the case. No leakage and no internal l rattles were apparent. l The seventh drop resulted in failure of the plastic rods connecting the cover to the base. Unit was still electrically functional and radiologically secure. ,

The tenth drop resulted in failure of the clip holding the printed circuit board to the base. At this point the unit would no longer have been usable for its intended purpose, but its radioactive source was still contained and there was no direct release path for alpha particles from the 241Americium.

FIREX SMOKE DETECTOR I RADIATION SAFETY PRODUCTION MODEL TESTING l V. High temperature Test 1000 for 60 minutes The first 15 minutes demonstrated considerable evolution of fumes as the plastic as,hed. A faulty temperature controller allowed the temperature to rise to 1200 F for the remainder of the test. Oxidation was complete l after 15 minutes. (See photo for Test V)

At the end of the test the plastic parts of the detector held together as an ash around its metallic and fiberglas parts.

A wipe of the exposed portions of the ionization chamber (See photo IV) gave:

alpha and beta--No detectable contamination alpha --No detectable contamination l

The ion chamber was then torn free of the PCB board re- l vealing the 241A m source which was still intact in its l screw holder. A leak test of the source and holder gave: l alpha and beta--2203 net counts / minute = .00198 uCi beta emitter alpha --553 ! 10 net counts / minute = .00050 uCi l alpha emitter i

CONCLUSIONS:

This production model of the Firex smoke detector passes all of the tests described above. It is, in my professional opinion, an item which could be safely marketed with minimal hazard and considerable safety benefit.

For installation. the user would first install en electrical switch box and associated viring to external power and alarm circuits. The detector would plug into a cating plate and associated relay and alarn (lamp) circuitry. 2,,

The Model 100 detector utilizes a single sealed source with a maximum if

backing of gold coated silver and a front covering of gold or cold / palladium 3 clloy by hot forging. The tictal layers are closed by velding and thus".,,

,, .g CONCLUSIONS Q

Y Based on the information submitted by SDINIREX, Inc., relating

+

the design, manufacture, prototypo testing, quality control, labeling'and  ;

conditions of handling, storage, use, and disposal of its gas and;,acrosoli detector and our experience in licensing similar detectors, it.is,. concluded that 532.27, 10 CFR 32.

the Model 100 detector vill meet safety criteria set forth';inf . ' 4;.

4&I:

'9Q storage', fk-C It appears unlikely that under~ conditions of normal use, haniiling,<

or disposal of single and quantitics of except units the externalfradiation dose in'any one year or the dose commitment resulting from the'in'take of. P o

raJioactive caterial'in any one year from the product will exceed the dose' to the appropriate organ as specified in Column I of the table in]I32.28, 10 CFR 32, or that there will;be a significant reduction in therg,,

= effectiveness of the contain=cnt, shielding, or other safety festures of r

the product f rom wear and abuse likely to occur in normal handling and use of the product. "

,.. G,4 It also appears that the probability is low that the containment,'I'shic1 ding, or other safety features of the product would f ail under such circumstances that a person would receive an external ~ radiation dose or dose co==ittent in execss of the dose to the appropriate organ as cpecified in Colu=n II of the table in 132.78, end the pr:bsbility is netligible that a person would receive an external radiation dose or dose co=mit=ent in excess of ~

the dose to the appropriate organ as specified in Colu=n III of(the tabic in 132.28. .

All three models use the identical source and holder as the previously9.' \

licensed Model 100 with the exception that the activity has been decreased .>

to a maximum of 0.99 pCi as compared to the maximum of 1.3 pCi currently' licensed. Model FXB-1 is a battery unit., Model FXC-1 is a 120 VAC plug-in unit and Model FXW-1 is a 120 VAC wired-in ur.it. The chamber construction 4

Dear Mr. Barakat:

This leger is in reference to your recent conversation with Ms. Susan Greene concerning the listing of previous model smoke detectors on Coleman's registration certificate No. NR-0545-D-101-E amended December 20,1996. We have corrected the certificate, as discussed, and are issuing an amended copy of the certificate (copy enclosed).

As a general rule, you must request and obtain an amendment to the certificate before you make changes or modifications to the information submitted to obtain the certificate.

Please read over the registration certificate in its entirety and notify us immediately of any errors or omissions. You are obligated to notify us promptly in writing should you decide to no longer manufacture or offer service support for the product.

Please be aware that, as a holder of an NRC registration, you may be subject to the NRC's licensing fees in accordance with 10 CFR Part 170, and annual fees in accordance with 10 CFR Part 171.
