Low Energy Gamma Source l
DESCRIPTION:
l Americium' oxide is mechanically mixed with a powdered ceramic frit containing I
the oxides of silicon, sodium, and magnesium.
The mix is heated until molten at about 1000'C.. The mix is cooled.and forms a solid glass or: ceramic bead.
The bead is placed into the recess of an insert and heated to 1000*C. As the l
' bead softens, it-flows into the recess, fills it, and forms a ceramic layer which adheres to the steel surface so that the active materials are contained as an integral part of the ceramic layer which is firmly bonded to the insert. The. insert is placed in a single stainless steel capsule and sealed by welding.
The AMC.16 source has dimensions of 10.8 mm x 6 mm, the'AMC.18 source has dimensions of 22 mm x 6 mm, and the AMC.19 source has dimensions of
.30 mm x 6 mm.
LABELING:
All sources are marked by permanent engraving with the manufacturer's, logo, nuclide, the activity, the serial number, the model number, and the radiation symbol.
DIAGRAM:
i See Attachment 1.
CONDITIONS OF NORMAL USE:
i The source is used in gauging devices.
For a specific set of conditions of use' look up_the applicable gauging device registration document.
l PROTOTYPE TESTING:
The manufacturer reported that the source type has been tested in accordance
.with ANSI N542-1977 and has achieved a rating of 77C64344.
The. source capsules have also been approved by the United Kingdom competent authority as special form source.

During manufacture capsule components and materials are checked visually and dimensionally to ensure that they comply with the detailed engineering drawings.
During manufacture the welded seal is tested by a bubble test method and finished sources are-checked by wipe and immersion tests and visual inspection.
LIMITATIONS AND/0R OTHER CONSIDER /TIONS OF USE:
i The source shall be distributed only to persons specifically licensed by the NRC or an Agreement State.
The source shall not be subjected to environmental or other condi-tions of use which exceed ANSI Classification 77C64344.
Handling, storage, use, transfer, and disposal:
To be determined by the licensing authority.
The source shall be leak tested at 6 month intervals using techniques capable of detecting 0.005 microcurie of removable i
contamination.
This registration sheet and information contained within the references shall not be changed or transferred without the written consent'of'the NRC.

SOURCE TYPE:
Low Energy Gamma Source SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
Based on our review of the information and test' data cited, the claimed ANSI N542 classification, that the source design was previously deemed acceptable for licensing and that this Amendment was done to update the Automated Registry System, we continue to conclude that the source design is acceptable for licensing purposes.
Furthermore, we conclude that the source design would be expected to maintain its integrity for normal conditions of use and accidental conditions which might occur.
