, Amendment No. 07 -
(12. continued) CONDITIONS ,
l (2) Notwithstanding the periodic leak test required by this condition, any ,
licensed sealed source or detector cell is exempt from such leak tests ,
when the source or detector cell contains 100 microcuries or less of beta and/or gamma emitting materials or 10 microcuries or less of alpha . l emitting material. l
-(3) Except for alpha sources, the periodic leak test required by this condi- l tion does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. ,
- The sources excepted from this test 'shall. be tested for leakage before any use or transfer to another person ~ unlessithey have been leak tested within 6 months before the date of use or transfer, B. Each sealed source or detector cell fabricated by the licensee shall be h inspected and tested for construction defects, leakage,.and contamination ; ,
prior to use or transfer as a sealed source or detectoNeell. If the !
inspection or test reveals any construction defe' cts or 0.005 microcurie !
or greater of contamination, the source shall not be used or transferred j as a sealed source or detector cell until jit;has been repaired, decontami- i <
nated and retested. 5 e ,
- (
C. Each sealed source containing licensed material, other than hydrogen 3, '
i with a half-life greater than 30 daysf and in any, form other than gas !
i shall be tested for leakage and/ ors contamination at intervals not to l'-
1 exceed 6 months except that each source designed for the purpose of s i, H emitting alpha particles shall be tested at intervals not to exceed 3 ;
-] months. _
\p; i
D. The test shall be capable.of detecting 'the presence (of 0.005 microcurie of radioactive material on the test sample. The4 test sample shall be ji
! taken from the sealed source or detector cell or from the surfaces of the l device in which the sealed' source or, detector cell is permanently or i{
> semipermanently mounted or stored o'n which one might expect contamination I" to accumulate. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of !,
q microcuries and maintained for inspection by the Commission. Records may l j be disposed of following Commission inspection. !
a j
d E. If the test required by Subsection A. or C. of this condition reveals the ;j presence of 0.005 microcurie or more of removable contamination, the i licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source or detector cell !
l from use and shall cause it to be decontaminated and repaired or to be {
< disposed of in accordance with Commission regulations. A report shall be j
}y filed within 5 days of the date the leak test result is known with the l i i d U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, Region I, ATTN: Chief, Nuclear l d
Materials Safety and Safeguards Branch, 631 Park Avenue, King of Prussia, t, f Pennsylvania 19406, describing the equipment involved, the test results, i' and the corrective action taken.
