Gentlemen:
We have reviewed your application dated February 15, 1988, requesting a new byproduct materials license and find that we will need additional information as follows:
1.
Please clarify if you will be performing any procedures which require patients to ingest or be injected with radionuclides.
If yes, you will need to file an application for human use in accordance with 10 CFR Part 35 and Regulatory Guide 10.8, Revision 2, August 1987, (copies enclosed).
2.
Describe the detector used on the CDV-700 portable G-M survey meter. To I
adequately detect low levels of iodine-125, you must use a very thin end I
window probe. Thick side wall probes are not effective in measuring low energy radionuclides.
3.
Describe your procedures for calibrating your analytical instruments and the survey meter.. Procedures for survey meters should be equivalent to those described in Appendix B of Regulatory Guide 10.8.
You may state you will follow the procedures in Appendix B.
However, state who will perform the calibrations.
4.
Describe your waste disposal procedures for contaminated solids such as glassware, paper, gloves, etc. See Appendix R of Regulatory Guide 10.8 for suggested procedures.
5.
Describe your routine survey program.
Include the following items:
I a.
Frequency of surveys.
Surveys should be conducted at least every two weeks.
b.
Type of surveys. Surveys should cover direct radiation levels when appropriate and removable contamination levels in all cases.
c.
Areas to be surveyed. All areas where radioactive material is used, received, stored and waste areas should be surveyed.
d.
Action levels and corrective actions. All areas showing greater than 200 disintegrations per minute per 100 cm2 must be decontaminated and resurveyed.

Confirm that this instruction will be-given both initially and annually thereafter on a refresher basis.
8.
Describe your procedures for ordering radioactive materials, for receipt of materials and for notification of responsible persons upon receipt of radioactive materials. These procedures should be adequate to ensure that possession limits are not exceeded, that radioactive materials are secured against ut authorized removal at all times, and that radiation levels in unrestricted areas do not exceed the limits specified in Section 20.105 of r
9.
Describe your procedures for examining incoming packages and for safety opening packages. As a minimum, these include instructions to wear gloves, and survey the package for removable. contamination if the package is wet or damaged.. Procedures should include instructions on what to do if a package is leaking.
