Note:
Older sealed sources were encapsulated by ORNL, Brookhaven National Lab or other national laboratories and the reviewer may encounter some of these sources.
There are three source categories based on physical dimensions and quantity of radioactivity in the source capsule. The basic categories are listed below in Table 1. A source holder is provided (Attachment 2) that is machined to fit each category of capsule. Each source holder is designed to have al(b)(7)(F) I Kb)(7)(F)

LABELING:
Each capsule is typically etched with the following information: isotope, serial number, activity, and date.
The sources containing large curie quantities are normally in heavily shielded devices bearing a label revealing the type, quantity of radioactive material and serial number. Low-curie sources designed to be handled outside of devices are normally fixed in a holder that provides the additional information ( date, source type, activity level).

PROTOTYPE TESTING:
Prototype sources have been tested and certified to meet "Special Form" requirements according to 49 CFR 173.469 and designated as having an ANSI classification of ANSI 77E43424.
A record of production of these types of sources has been established over at least 20 years with no reported breach of source integrity.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL:
All capsule bodies are constructed in accordance with J. L. Shepherd and Associates Quality Control Manual QA-RM-001-A, which covers engineering design through final fabrication approval. Quality Control of source encapsulation is also controlled by the manufacturer's Quality Assurance Programs.

SAFETY ANALYSIS
SUMMARY
Based on the review of Model 7810, its ANSI classification, and the information and data contained in references listed below, we continue to conclude that the sealed source is acceptable for licensing purposes.
Furthermore, we continue to conclude that the source would be expected to maintain its containment integrity for normal conditions of use and accidental conditions, which might occur during uses specified in this certificate.
