f [Michele Burgess-99-38 pg]
1 From: Michele Burgess To: Traci Kime Date: Tue, Jul 27,199912:28 PM
Subject:
99-38 Please close action 99-38. I spoke with the State of WI, the dose rates provided were for the device containing a radium source, and were sent to NRC by the State of WI. WI is going to clarify the situation with Seaman Nuclear. If Seaman Nuclear wishes to amend the NR certificate to add a radium source, then Seaman Nuclear will apply directly to the NRC.
In the meantime, since there was no fee charged for 99-38, and since at this point, we do not know for sure whether Seaman Nuclear will submit an application, nor how soon we would get it, we will close out 99-38, then if Seaman Nuclear sends in an application, we will log it in as a new action.

- 1. Ituclide i
- 2. Activity
- 3. Model number
- 4. Serial number
- 5. The word " Radioactive'

PROTOTYPF EVALUATION: 4 l
Both capsules meet the requi rements of the I AEA Special Form Regulations.
Based on these resul ts and on ANSI tests on simii ar capsules, the manufacturer estimates that these source models would achieve at I cast an ANSI rating of 43344.
