4. CONTENTS OF AN APPLICATION

Most items of Form NRC-313 are sclf-explanator: (se instructions with the form). The following corn ments apply to the indicated numbered items of th.form.hIem 1(a). Specify the applicant corporation o other legal entity by name and address of principa office. Individuals should be designated as the appli cant only if the use of the byproduct material is no connected with the individual's employment with corporation or other entity. If the applicant is an in dividual, the individual should be specified by ful name and address, including state and zip code.hem 1(h). Specify the street address of the locatior of use if the address differs from the one given in itcrr I(a). If use is to be at more than one location.

thi specific address of each should be given. Describe thi extent of use and the facilities and equipment at eaca location.

A post office box address is not acceptable Item 4. Specify the names of the persons who wil directly supervise the use of radioactive material oi who will use radioactive material without supervi.sion.hem 5. Specify the name of the person who will ht designated as the radiation protection officer.*

This person should be responsible for implementing th(radiation safety program and therefore readily available to the users in case of difficulty and should be trained and experienced in radiation protectior and in the use and handling of radioactive materials.

Ite't 6(a i amdl 1b. Describe the byproduct rnatcria by isotope, chemical and/or physical form. and ac.tivity. in millicuries or microcurics.

A separate pos.session limit for each nuclide should be specified Possession limits requested should cover the total an.ticipated inventory, including stored materials and waste. and should be commensurate with the appli-cant's needs and facilities for safe handling.If the use of sealed or plated sources is con-templated, the isotope. manufacturer, and model number of each sealed or plated source should be If a source will be used in a gas chromatograph, gauge, or other device. the manufac-turer and model number of the device should be specified.

Item 7. The use to be made of the radioactive materials should be clearly described.

Sufficient detail should be given to allow a determination of the potential for exposure to radiation and radioactive materials of both those working with the materials and the public,*The terms "radiation protection officer" and-radiological safety officer" are synonymous.

items 8 and 9. A resume of the training and ex-perience of each person who will directly supervise y the use of material, who will use material without-supervision, or who will have responsibilities for c radiological safety should be submitted.

The resume should include the type (on-the-job or formal course work), location, and duration of the training.

Train-r ing should cover(1) principles and practices ofradia-I tion protection:

(2) radioactivity measurements," standardization, and monitoring techniques and in-t struments, (3) mathematics and calculations basic to the use and measurement of radioactivity, and (4)-biological effects of radiation.

The description of the I use of radioactive materials should include the specific isotopes handled, the maximum quantities of materials handled, where the experience was gained, n the duration of experience, and the type of use. The qualifications, training, and experience of each person should be commensurate with the material e and its use as proposed in the application.

The amount and type of training and experience with radiation and radioactive materials required to sup-port a determination of adequacy by the Commission i will vary markedly with certain factors.The use of microcurie quantities of a few non-volatile radioactive materials by a person with a e minimum of training and expcrience under precisely specified and carefully controlled conditions subject to the surveillance of a competent and adequately y trained radiation protection officer may be justified.

I Such minimum training and experience may consist of a few hours of training and experience in the use of one or more radioactive materials similar to the use proposed in the application under the supervision I and tutorship of a licensed user.Persons using miillicurie quantities of a number of radionuclides for general laboratory tracer work un-der unspecified condition should have more exten-sive training and experier.ce and, depending on the exact nature of the proposed program or use of radionuclides, may need to have completed formal-course work at the college or university level covering the areas listed under Item 8 of Form NRC-313.The use of larger quantities of material (ap-proaching a curie) under conditions where a potential exists for significant loss and ingestion, inhalation, or absorption of the radioactive material by those work.ing with the material is normally done under carefully controlled conditions using specialized equipment.

A person who is to use radioactive materials inde.pendently under these conditions should not only have a background of formal training in all areas of Item 8 of Form NRC-313 but should also have exten.sive experience working with radioactive material and a thorough working knowledge of the equipment required to handle the material safely.10.7-2 I

l Items 10 and II. Specify for each radiation detec-tion instrument the manufacturer's name and model number, the number of each type of instrument available, the type of radiation detected (alpha. beta.or gamma), the sensitivity range (milliroentgens per hour or counts per minute), the window thickness in mg/cm 2.and the type of use. The type of use would normally be monitoring, surveying, assaying, or measuring.

Describe the instrument calibration procedure.

State the frequency.

and describe the methods and procedures for the calibration of survey and monitor-ing instruments, as well as any other instruments and systems used in the radiation protection program.such as measuring instruments used to assay scaled-source leak-test samples (see Item 14). contamination samples (e.g., air samples, surface "wipe' samples).and bioassay samples (see Item 12).An adequate calibration of survey instruments usually cannot be performed with built-in check sources. Electronic calibrations that do not involve a source of radiation arc also not adequate to deter-mine the proper functioning and response of all com-ponents of an instrument.

Daily or other frequent checks of survey instru-ments should be supplemented every 6 months with a two.point calibration on each scale of each instru-ment with the two points separated by at least 50% of the scale. Survey instruments should also be calibrated following repair. A survey instrument may be considered properly calibrated when the instru-ment readings are within +/-10 percent of the calculated or known values for each point checked.Readings within- +/-20 percent are considered accep-table if a calibration chart or graph is prepared and attached to the instrument.

If the applicant proposes to calibrate his survey in-struments, a detailed description of planned calibra-tion procedures should be submitted.

The description of calibration procedures should include, as a minimum: a. The manufacturer and model number of each radiation source to be used.b. The nuclide and quantity of radioactive material contained in each source, c. The accuracy of the source(s).

The traceability of the source to a primary standard should be provided.d. The step-by-step procedures, including as-sociated radiation safety procedures, and e. The name and pertinent experience of each person who will perform the calibrations.

If the applicant intends to contract out the calibra-tion of instruments, the name, address, and license numher of the Firm should be specified together %% ith the frequency of calibration.

The applicant should contact the firm that "rill perform the calibration.

to determine if information concerning calibration procedures has been filed with the Commission.

If information concerning calibration procedures has not been filed, it should be obtained and submitted.

Quantitative measuring instruments used to monitor the adequacy of containment and con-tamination control such as those used for measuring leak test. air. effluent.

bioassay, suork area. and cquipnient contamination samples should usually he calibrated prior to each use. The procedures and fre-quency for calibration of such instruments should he submitted and should include: a. The name of the manufacturer and model number of each of the standards to he used.h. The nuclide and quanity of radioactiVc material contained in each of the standard sources.c. A statement orthe accuracy of each of the stan-dard sources. The source accuracy should be. as a minimum. +/- 5 percent of the stated value and traceable to a primary standard, such as that main-tained by the National Bureau of Standards.

d. Step-by-step calibration procedures and. if ap-propriate.

associated radiation safety procedures.

and e. The name and pertinent experience of each person who will perform the instrument calibrations.

hem 12. Personnel monitoring is required if a person is likely to receive in a calendar quarter 313 millirems to the body. 4.69 rems to the estremities.

or 1.88 reins to the skin (lowcr limits apply to those un-der 18 years of age: see ,20.101 and 20.202 of 10 CFR Part 20). Personnel monitoring is also required if a person enters a high radiation area (greater than 100 millirems per hour). If personnel monitoring equipment will be used. the name of the organization furnishing film badge or thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD) service and the frequency for changing badges, dosimeters.

etc.. should be specified.

If pQcket chambers or pocket dosimeters will be used, the useful range of the device, in mil-liroentgens.

the frequency of reading, and the procedures for maintaining and calibrating the devices should be specified.

If personnel monitoring will not be used, the appli-cant should submit calculations or documentation from radiation surveys that demonstrate that it is un-likely that any individual will receive a dose equal to or greater than that indicated in the preceding paragraph.

The applicant should show that the need for bioas-says has been thoroughly considered and should es-tablish the adequacy of the proposed hioassay S 0 10.7-3 I program in relation to the proposed program of use of radioactive material.

Bioassays are normally re-quired when individuals work with millicurie

lIent 14.a. Survey Program. Commission regulations re-quire that surveys be made to determine if radiation hazards exist in a facility in which radioactive materials are used or stored (see §20.201. 10 CFR Part 20). A survey should include the evaluation of external exposure to personnel, concentrations of air-borne radioactive material in the facility, and radioactive effluents from the facility.

Although a theoretical calculation is often used to demonstrate compliance with regulations regarding airborne or external radiation, it cannot always be used in lieu of a physical survey.Except for those cases where sources of radiation and radioactive material are well known and ac-curately and precisely controlled.

it will usually be necessary that a physical survey be made with ap-propriate detection and measurement instruments to determine the nature and extent of radiation and radioactis material or, as a minimum, confirm the results of a theoretical determination.

A radiation protection program should include the following surveys for radioactive contamination and radiation: (I) In laboratory areas (e.g., checking for con-tamnination on bench tops, handling and storage equipment, clothing, hands, etc.).(2) Whilc work is being done with radiation or radioactivc materials (e.g.. breathing zone air sur-veys: general air surveys; personnel exposure measurements, including eyes and extremities:

check-ing shutters and containment.

etc.).(3) In areas associated with disposal or release of radioactive materials (e.g., checking disposal con-tainers and disposal sites: liquid, gas, and solid ef-fluents: filters and filter-duct systems: etc.).The frequency of surveys will depend on the nature of the radioactive materials and their use. However.surveys should be performed prior to the use of radioactive materials in order to establish a baseline.The surveys should be repeated when radioactive materials arc present, when the quantity of material present changes, or when changes occur in their con-tainment systems or methods of use. Repetitive sur-veys may also be necessary to control the location of radioactive materials in the handling system and in tic case of the use of sealed sources outside a shielded container.

For operations involving materials in gas, liquid, or finely divided forms, the survey program should be designed to monitor the adequacy of containment and control of the materials involved.

The program should include air sampling, monitoring of effluents, 0 10.7-4 and surveys to evaluate contamination of personnel, facilities, and equipment.

The description of an air sampling program should include the area where samples will be taken, the fre-quency of sampling, and the location of the sampler with respect to workers' breathing zones. Assays per-formed to evaluate air samples and the methods used to relate results to actual personnel exposures should also be described.

The effluent monitoring program for releases to unrestricted areas should encompass all airborne and liquid radioactive material releases.

Theoretical evaluations should be suppLmcnted by stack monitoring, water sampling, and nther environmen- tal monitoring appropriate for thc planned and potential releases.For operations involving only sealed sources, a survey program should include evaluation and/or measurement of radiation levels for storage and use configurations.

When sources are used in devices having "on" and "ofr' positions.

both positions should be evaluated at the time of installation.

Sup-plemental surveys should be performed following any changes in operation, shielding, or use.The types. methods. and frequency of surveys should be specified.

Guidance may be obtained from the National Council on Radiation Protection Report No. 10. "Radiological Monitoring Methods and Instruments,*'

and the International Atomic Energy Agency's Technical Rcport Series No. 120."Monitoring of Radioactive Contamination on Sur-faces."*b. Records Management Program. Provision for keeping and revicwing records of surveys: materials inventories:

per'sonnel exposures;

receipt. use. and disposal of materials.

etc.. should be described.

Persons responsible for keeping and reviewing records should be identified.

c. Emergency Procedures.

The applicant should submit written emergency procedures for-employees in case of spills. fires, release or loss of material, or accidental contamination of personnel, including decontamination procedures and the names of persons who arc to be notified in an emergency.

d. Sealed-Source Leak-Test Procedures.

Sealed sources containing more than 100 microcuries of a beta or gamma emitter or more than 10 microcuries of an alpha emitter must be leak tested at 6-month in-tervals. Leak testing of alpha-particle-emitting sources containing more than 10 microcuries of an*Copies may be obtained from NCRP Publications, P.O.Box 4867. Washington.

If a commercial firm is to perform the Irak tests, the name. address. and license number of the firm should he submitted, If the tests arc to be performed using a commercial "kit." the name of the kit manufacturer or distributor and the kit model designation should be given. If the applicant intends to p.rform his ou n leak tests without the use of a commercial kit, the fol.lowing information should be submitted:

I) Qualifications of personnel who will perform the leak test.(2) Procedures and materials to be used in tak-ing test samples.(3) The type manufacturer's name. model number, and r;4iajiin detection and measurement characteristics o the'nstrument to be used for assay of test samples.(4) lnstruwment calibration procedures., including calibration source characteristics.

to be used to convert instrument readings to units of activity.

e.g.. microcurics.

hctm 15. The procedures for disposing of byproduct material waste should be described.
