>The; outer physical characteristics of the ML-1-4 are those. of a steel cylinder.

E 9-1/8 inches-in height byLand 7-3/4-inches in diameter: mounted with its longest-axisivertical on a 3/8 inch: thick steel base plate. _The base plate, twhich: includes an electrical cable connector, is attached to the' cylinder with "eight' screws. The 1/411nch thick steel top plate is welded to the cylinder.

Mounting bracketsLare welded ' the side or bottom of the' device.

The source of radiation is. mounted at the approximate center of an. inner cylindrical shield-consisting of an assembly of two Mallory-1000 cylindrical

shields.- These shields, a rotary solenoid and an outer cylindrical lead shield are contained within an inner steel can with the -lead shield resting on the base plate. Anl outer shield of lead surrounds this inner assembly at the top and

-sides.

-. _ ~ A. rotary solenoid mounted at the bottom of the Mallory-1000 shield assembly has its rotor coupled to a Mallory-1000 rotor.

The source, at the edge of the rotor,

^1s moved;45 degrees between the "on" and "off" positions. The application of power to the solenoid causes the rotor to act against a-return spring which returns-the source to the shielded position when the power is interrupted.

19 thel"on" position, the source is exposed through a rectangular beam port 1-7/8 inches _in. height'and 1/2 inch--in width.

Internallymountedmicroswitchesindicatecthe-positionofthesourcerotohas "on" or "off" by parallel wired, dual, red and green lights at the control 1

console.-

LABELING:

" CAUTION:

R,'10 ACTIVE MATERIAL Cobalt me-Date of Measurement Model No. ML-1-4 BRUN CORPORATION,-COLUMBUS, OHIO" 4

1The-label is basically yellowLin color with black lettering and a magenta rodiationisymbol.

EXTERNAL' RADIATION-LEVELS:.

In; accessible-areas at one foot from the surface-of-the ML-1-4 are 3.2 mr/hr or less with a 53 millicurie cobalt-60 source in the'"off" position.

A radiation level:of 9.5 mr/hr exists over a small area in the region of the beam port which is inaccessitle when the unit is installed.

LIMITATIONS AND/0R OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF USE:

The ML-1-4-device was evaluated on the basin that it will be mounted flush-to the Iside_of a steel mold thereby preventing access to the beam'of radiation and reducing radiation levels.in the forward direction to-about 0.1 mr/hr.

If other

. applications are proposed, an evaluation of radiation levels in the forward direction will:be necessary.

.The userf s instructed by:.the Brun Corporation to avoid tampering with.the. device-i

. containi ng" the - cobal t-60 -. sou rce. The Brun Corporation states that a service contract will normally be sold.with.each-ML-1-4 to include six month visits byla

~ Brun. Corporation, representative for the _ purpose of_ inspecting the device and Lperforming source leak-tests.

The'Brun; Corporation has also stated that they will install and relocate the

source holderstand, perform radiation surveys at the-time of installation.

Since an "on-off" indicator:is not located at the sourceishield and since the Leontrolf console may be remote from the shield, consideration must be giv'en to

' exposure oEpersons;not aware of the exposed position of the source.
