CONDITIONS E
I l
- 13. A(1) Each sealed source containing licensed material, other than Hydrogen 3, with a i
half-life greater than thirty days and in any form other than gas shall be I
tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed six months, g
i except that each source designed for the purpose of emitting alpha particles i
I shall be tested at intervals not to exceed three months.
In the absence of a N
l certificate from a transferor, indicating that a test has been made within six E
months prior to the transfer, a sealed source received from another person l
i l
shall not be put into use until tested.
y I
p l
(2) Notwithstanding the periodic leak test required by this condition, any i
I licensed sealed source is exempt from such leak tests when the source contains I
l 100 microcuries or less of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 10 l
microcuries or less of alpha emitting material, y
i P
i (3) Except for alpha sources, the periodic leak test required by this condition p
i does not apply to sealed sources that are stored and not being used. The N
sources excepted from this test shall be tested for leakage prior to any use N
l of transfer to another person unless they have been leak tested within six j
months prior to the date of use or transfer.
t B.
The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie of p,
radioactive material on the test sample. The test sample shall be taken from k
[N I
the sealed source or from the surfaces of the device in which the sealed
[
source is permanently mounted or stored on which one might expect i
contamination to accumulate. Records of leak test results shall be kept in g
I units of microcuries and maintained for inspection by the Commission.
I M
P
[
C.
If the test reveals the presence of 0.005 microcurie or more of removable f(J j
contamination, the licensee shall immediately withdraw the sealed source from use and shall cause it to be decontaminated and repaired or to be disposed of i
