a) The sealed Pu-Be source will be used and stored in a

b) The plated sources will be used as alpha standards J
for detector calibration and undergraduate laboratory instruction.

7.
Dr. Mary Williams-Norton, Associate Professor of Physics, will be in charge r the materials.
None will be used without her permission c.;d direct supervision.
She i
received her formal training in radiation safety as a graduate student in experimental physics at Rutgers University As one of many students using radiation producing equipment and materials, she was j
instructed in the principles of radiation safety and the proper use, care and calibration of radiation monitoring instruments by *.he university's health physics staff.
Si,e also'took part in a formal training course at Brookhaven National Laboratory (1971) and a self-study course at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1985).
She has received additional on-the-job experience with the safe use of radioactive materials as a research associate in j
experimental nuclear physics at Florida State University (1973-1975) and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
-(1975-1977 and 1985-1987).
8.
The special nuclear materials will be used only-in the nuclear physics laboratory, a room kept locked except when the radiation safety officer or one of her faculty colleagues is present.
Students do not work in that laboratory until they have a.
attended a comprehensive lecture on the principles and practices of radiation safety, including an explanation.
of units of radiation exposure and a demonstration of the use of radiation survey meters b.
demonstrated that they can operate the radiation survey meters c.
successfully completed a self-study course in radiation safety such as that given in Radiation Safety for Laboratory Technicians, a publication of the University of Wisconsin.
Students are allowed to work in the laboratory area only when they are using the materials.
Data analysis, background reading and other and even waiting between counts are done in other laboratories to minimize the time of possible exposure.

l The Pu-Be source.is only removed from the Neutron Howitzer.
for leak checks.
At that time it is handled with a 1.1 meter-long device with a clamp at one end to hold the-
~
cylindrical source operated by a hand-held trigger mechanism at the other.
The plated alpha sources are stored in individual l
' covered plastic containers and are transferred using tweezers (10 to 15' centimeters in length) 'only:
. great care is taken that nothing touch the plated surface at.any time.
[
The plastic containers in which the plated alpha sources.are stored are kept in a cabinet in the samed locked room in which the Neutron Howitzer is stored.
Even when the nuclear physics laboratory is in uee and unlocked, this room is kept locked unless the sources are in use.
Not even college maintenance workers are allowed in the source room without the permission of and.under the direct supervision of the radiation safety officer.
The special nuclear materials are never processed, chemically or physically, in any way.
Great caro is taken that their configurations are never altered or ia. aged.
Auxiliary shielding materials (lead, lead-deped polyethylene, and polyethylene blocks, lead foil, etc.) are used to further' reduced the neutron and gamma radiation produced by the Pu-Be source in the neutron howitzer.-
Radionuclides produced by neutron activation are also shielded with these auxiliary shielding materials.

A check of l
proper operation is made daily upon use of each instrument.
Leak tests of the Pu-Be source arn performed at six-month intervals (of before use if the source has not been used for i
l more than six months.
The leak-test procedure is as follows:
a.
the source is held with the remote handling tool and wiped with absorbent filter paper, J

the source is returned to the' neutron howitzer.and
-placed'in the storage position with the lid replaced and locked.
c.
the filter paper is counted with the windowless gas-flow proportional counter (or alpha spectrometer) to determine the alpha activity, an d.-
if11ess that 0.005 microcurie of removable alpha contamination is aetected on the test. sample, the re=J!t of the leak test is recorded in the. log book.
e.
If 0.005 microcurie or'more of removable alpha contamination is removed, personnel and the. area are evaluated for contamination.
Further spread of contamination w111 be prevented; f.
The source.is-put in a-leak proof container, the container.is sealed, placed in a shipping container and returned to the manufacturer for repair or replacement.
The following office will be informed.of the test results and of actions-taken:
United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Region 111 799 Roosevelt Rd.
Glen Ellyn, IL 60137 10.
Fadiation Safety Program The radiation saftey program is managed with three main components:
a.
basic instruction in the principles of radiation safety for all students (and others) who use the materials (see full description in part 8.)
b.
supervis$on and secure storage of the special nuclear materials, test sources, etc. (see full description in part 9.)
c.
periodic leak checks of the Pu-Be source, survey meter calibration, etc. (see part 9.)
Although thermoluminescent dosimeters are available for student use, they are rarely used because the low levels of radiation in the laboratory, careful use of shielding and distance to minimize exposure and limited time in the laboratory make personnel monitoring unnecessary.
Typical stu>iont and or faculty use of the laboratory is limited to abc ut 40 hours4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> per calendar quarter.
Expected dose during tha*. time, based on surveys of the area, would be less than 50 m!!!! rem full body dose with never more than 90 millirem dose to the. hands and forearms.
These exposures are far lower than the 0.31 rem full-body doseoor 4.69 rem extremities dose limits requiring personnel monitoring.
1 11.
Waste Management No wastes are generated from the special nuclear materials because they are not processed in any way and are stored and L
handled so as to minimize the risk of contamination of their surroundings (see part 9.).
Should a leak check of the Pu-Be source show removable alpha contamination, the i
