INSTRUMENTS The portable instruments are supplied with calibrating sources and will be routinely checked biweekly.
The scintillation counters, gas flow counters, Geiger-Mueller tubes and scalers will be checked with the Model SKl Standards and Sources Set.
This set contains other reference sources and standards solutions for comparative checks and absolute calibration.
-y PERSONNEL MONITORING The Nuclear Engineering Program is supplied with film badges for
.all students and other personnel involved in source handling and experimental work in the laboratory from the R.S. Landauer Company.
In addition, they will be supplied with ganma and neutron self-reading pocket dosimeters.
FACILITIES The floor plan of the laboratory facility is attached.
The floor plan describes the layout of the laboratory which is located in room 1114, in the School of Engineering at Howard University.
A separate room with lock and key is provided for source and material storage.
The key is not one of a mastered group, but rather a key under controlled supervision.
The NH-3 Neutron Howitzer shall be used for source storage and is complete with remote handling tongs.
All personnel will be adequately protected with film badges, gamma and neutron dosimeters with adequate recording of all readings.
The sources are adequately shielded in both the suberitical assembly and the Neutron Howitzer.
Transfer of sources from one to the other shall be done with remote handling tongs and under full supervision of faculty personnel.
LEAK TESTING The Leak Test procedures outlined will be followed:
Using a remote handling tool, the source is thoroughly wiped with absorbent filter paper of high wet strength which has been moistened with a solution which is known to be ef fective in removing P-239 activity from the stain-less steel capsule.
The filter paper is then counted with the model Ap-4 alpha counter.

WASTE DISPOSAL, No waste disposal problem is anticipated at this time since. tracer amounts (within the limits of NRC regulations) will be used in laboratories and are disposable through the Howard University Office of Radiation Safety if necessary.
