l ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.21 SEALED SOURCE CONTAMINATION 6.21.1 Each sealed source containing radioactive material either in excess of 100 microcuries of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 5 microcuries of alpha emitting material shall be free of greater than or equal to 0.005 microcuries of remo/able contamination.

6.21.2 With a sealed source having removable contamination in excess of 0.005 microcuries, immediately withdraw the sealed source from use and either:

1.

Decontaminate and repair the sealed source, or 2.

Dispose of the sealed source in accordance with applicable regulations.

6.21.3 Each category of sealed sources as described in 6.21.1 with a half-life greater than 30 days (excluding Hydrogen-3), and in any other form than gas, shall be tested for leakage and/or contamina-tion at intervals not to exceed 6 months.

6.21.4 The test shall be perfomed by the licensee or by other persons specifically authorized by the Comission or an Agreemer.t State.

The test method shall have a detection sensitivity of at least 0.005 microcuries per test sample.

6.21.5 The test sample shall be taken from the sealed source or, in the case of pemanently mounted sources, from the surfaces of the mounting device on which contamination would be expected to accumulate.

6.21.6 The periodic leak test does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. These sources shall be tested prior to use or transfer to another licensee, unless tested within the previous 6 months. Sealed sources which are continuously enclosed within a shielded mechanism (i.e., sealed sources within radiation monitoring or boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.

6.21.7 Sealed sources transferred without a certificate indicating the last test date shall be tested prior to being placed in use.

6.21.8 A report shall be prepared and submitted to the Comission on an annual basis if sealed source leakage tests reveal the presence of greater than or equal to 0.005 microcuries of removable contamination.
