475 ALLENDALE ROAD g*..,*,o KING oF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA 19406-1415 2A ,h December 22, 1998 MEMORANDUM FOR: Donald A. Cool, Director f Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, NMSS FROM: A. Randolph Blough, Director -
Division of Nuclear Materials Safety, Rl
SUBJECT:
METOREX REQUEST TO AMEND REGISTRY NR-701-D-101-B In a letter dated December 4,1998, Metorex requested an amendment to Registry NR-701-D-101-B and their NRC distribution License. The letter describes changes which affect the SSPS and HEPS probes, which the licensee modified by adding a 50 kBq cadmium-109 source to the SSPS probe, modified the HEPS probe by adding a flow cell and made changes to the source holder and shutter mechanism, and supplied the HEPS probes to one company that incorporated it into an online analyzer with a flow cell of their own design.
These changes had not been reviewed and approved by the NRC prior to being implemented and distributed to customers.
Motorex contacted NRC Region I, by telephone, as soon as it realized that changes to its devices had occurred in order to obtain advice on what action it should take. Region I informed the licensee to contact the Materials Safety Branch, NMSS for instructions to obtain an evaluation of the changes. The licensee contacted John Lubinski and was told to forward its request to NRC Region I for processing and evaluation. The licensee sent its ,
request to the Region in a letter dated December 4,1998. l It is our view that this type of action should be initially received, processed and evaluated by NMSS/lMNS prior to being forwarded to Region I. Accordingly, we have voided the licensee's request to amend its distribution license, and plan to wait until the registry is changed before considering an amendment request from the licensee. It is our understanding, based on a discussion with the licensee, that Metorex is not distributing i these modified devices at this time, i
Please provide a copy of the amended registry sheet to Region I when your action is complete. l
