FC Central File NMSS rf FCMC rf APR 2 71983 SLBaggett Atomic Energy of Canada ATTH: Mr. David Minns P.O. Box /C.P. 3504 Ottawa, Ont. klY 4G1 Gentlemen:
This refers to your application hand delivered on April 21, 1983. We understood that when the device registration is completed by the Material Certification and Procedures Branch, your license application will be reviewed by John Glenn, NRC, Region I.
To continue our device review, we need additional information and/or clarification of the items listed below:
o From your application, it appears that you plan to use Cobalt-60 and Cesium-137 in the scanner flask. We have information on the Cesium-137 sources. However, we need additional information on the Cobalt-60 source, i$e.,
maximum activity, manufacturer, model number and radiation dose measuring of a scinner flask containing the Cobalt-60.
o The NRC normally does not issue an extension of the six-month leak test interv'al.
In the event you wish to extend the interval to one year, you should provide information to demonstrate that the increase in time is justified by the performance characteristics of the device or a similar device.
o The NRC regulations require that your device be labeled in accordance with Section~20.203,10 CFR 20. To bring your labels into compliance with this regulation, you should add a trefoil simbol and the radioactive warning should read, " Caution Radioactive Material." The label must be durable enough to remain legible for the useful life of the device.
o Provide a diagram or description of how the slip brake works and the method of attachment of the guide cables and control cable to the flask.
o Provide the title and/or a, copy of the document that was used to obtain the stainless steel-depleted uranium e*(tectoid melting point of 800*F.

For reasons of public health and safety, the NRC requires o
that all sources and devices be tested in accordance with the American National Standard Institute Criterion. Your device needs to be given an ANSI N538 (copy attached) designation. Since this is a custom device, you may use i
engineering analysis data or historical data to demonstrate-compliance with the requirements.
o We need dose rates at 5, 30, and 100 centimeters from the l
device. These measurements should be taken at the four major compass points. ' The points should he in both the longitudinal and transverse planes.
Provide a safety analyst.s iummary. Since this is a custom o
device, you may' include' pertinent facts about your radio-logical protection program. These facts can b.e used to reenforce any statements made.
I Upon receipt of this information, we will continue our custom device review.
j When the review has beencompleted, we will notify Mr. John Glenn (gegion I)
I to start the licensing review process.
If you have any questions, please contact me. My phone number is (301) 427-4240.

Based on the information and test data submitted in your application dated November 19, 1991, and subsequent letters, with enclosures thereto, we have transferred several registration certificates to " inactive" status and combined several other l
registration certificates as shown in Enclosure (1).
These sources and devices are acceptable for licensing purposes in accordance with the conditions of the enclosed registration l
certificates.
Please note, all registration certificates for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited have been assigned a vendor number of "8003".
Vendor number "0169" is no longer an active vendor number.
I Please be advised that you must manufacture and distribute the l
" active" products in accordance with the statements and representations contained in your application, with enclosures thereto, and the information set out in your registration certificates.
As a general rule, you must requist and obtain an amendment to each certificate before you make chagas or modifications to the information submitted to obtain the certificate.
Please read over the registration certificates in their entirety l
and notify us immediately of any errors or omissions.
You are l
obligated to notify us promptly in writing should you decide to no longer manufacture or offer service support for the products.
The registration certificates for the Models C-132, C-133, and i
C-265 have not been updated.
The following additional information is required in order to continue with this action:
l a) Please provide external radiation levels at 5 cm, 30 cm, and 100 cm from the surface of the C-265 source capsule when l
loaded with maximum activity.
i b) Please provide prototype testing for the C-132 source assembly.
You have stated that the C-132 source capsule is equivalent to the C-133 source capsule.
However, we do not have current prototype testing information for the C-132 and C-133 source capsules.
