-om--m . rem.a,aamm-saw-LICENSE CONDITION FOR LEAK TESTING SEALED PLUT0NIUM SOURCES AUGUST 1987 A. Each plutonium source shall be tested for leakage at intervals not to exceed 6 months. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a test has been made within 6 months prior to the transfer, the sealed source shall not be put into use until tested.  ;

1 The test shall be capable of detecting the' presence of 0.005 microcurie of B.

alpha contamination on the test sample. The test sample shall be taken from the source or from appropriate accessible surfaces of the device in which the sealed source is permanently or sem1 permanently mounted or stored.-

Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of microcuries and maintained for inspection by the Commission.

C. If the test reveals the presence 'of 0.005 microcurie or more of removable.

alpha contamination, the licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source from use and shall cause it to be decontaminated and repaired by a person appropriately licensed to make such repairs or to be disposed of in accordance with-the Commission's regulations. Within 5. days after determining that any source has leaked, the licensee shall file a report with the Division of Industrial and Medical Nuclear Safety, U.S. Nuclear .

i Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555, describing the source, test results, exte failure, and ,nt of contamination, corrective action taken.apparent or suspected cause of sourceA copy to the Administrator of the nearest NRC Regional Office listed in Appendix D of Title 10, Code of Feder.a1 Regulations, Part 20.

D. The periodic leak test required by this condition does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. The sources excepted from this test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use or transfer to another person unless they have been leak tested within 6 months prior to the date of use or transfer. j i
