LETTER OF CERT!FICATION | |||
! | |||
This is to certify that F. David Frankovich, of Cominco Alaska / Red Dog Operations, has attended and successfully completed a 40 hour Industrial I 7N Technologies Radiation Safety Training course, conducted by TN Technologies Inc. on May 23-28,1999 and described in the attached course outline. The participant received scores of 93.5% on the homework assignments and 94% on the exam, resulting in a fmal course grade of 93.8%. A course grade of 70% is considered a passing I score. 'Ihe class average was 86.9%. | |||
< | |||
The course covers fundamentals of radiation, units of dose and quality of radiation fields, hazards of radiation exposure, detection devices, regulatory controls, industrial devices and specific training on installation and leak testing of TN Technologies density, level, and weigh gauges. It is designed to meet the requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Agreement States for Radiation Safety Officers at companies using industrial gauging devices. | |||
This course is structured to qualify persons who complete it to understand and i safely perform various operatiens involving nuclear devices including the l installation, relocation, and leak testing of such equipment. The operations are to be performed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or Agreement States, and are in all respects subject to such rules and regulations. | |||
This letter cannot be used in lieu of a specific license from, or other sanction by, an appropriate regulatory agency. | |||

LETTER OF CERT!FICATION
!
This is to certify that F. David Frankovich, of Cominco Alaska / Red Dog Operations, has attended and successfully completed a 40 hour4.62963e-4 days <br />0.0111 hours <br />6.613757e-5 weeks <br />1.522e-5 months <br /> Industrial I 7N Technologies Radiation Safety Training course, conducted by TN Technologies Inc. on May 23-28,1999 and described in the attached course outline. The participant received scores of 93.5% on the homework assignments and 94% on the exam, resulting in a fmal course grade of 93.8%. A course grade of 70% is considered a passing I score. 'Ihe class average was 86.9%.
<
The course covers fundamentals of radiation, units of dose and quality of radiation fields, hazards of radiation exposure, detection devices, regulatory controls, industrial devices and specific training on installation and leak testing of TN Technologies density, level, and weigh gauges. It is designed to meet the requirements of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Agreement States for Radiation Safety Officers at companies using industrial gauging devices.
This course is structured to qualify persons who complete it to understand and i safely perform various operatiens involving nuclear devices including the l installation, relocation, and leak testing of such equipment. The operations are to be performed in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and/or Agreement States, and are in all respects subject to such rules and regulations.
This letter cannot be used in lieu of a specific license from, or other sanction by, an appropriate regulatory agency.

14. The licensee's emergency procedures shall conform to procedures outlined in the Washington State Radiation Emergency llandbook revised November 1991 or subsequent revisions, or other procedures specifically approved by License Condition.
15. A. 1. Each sealed source containing licensed material, other than hydrogen 3, with a. half-life greater than thirty days and in any form other than gas shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination. Each sealed source specified in Subitem 7.B.
and C. shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed six(6) months. Each sealed source specified in Subitem 7.A shall be tested for leakage and/or contamination at intervals not to exceed three years. In the absence of a certificate from a transferor indicating that a test has been made within six months prior to the transfer, a sealed source received from another person shall not bo put into use until tested.
2. Notwithstanding the periodic leak test required by this condition, any licensed sealed source is exempt from such leak tests when the source contains 100 microcuries (3.7 mega-becquerels) or less of beta and/or gamma emitting material or 10 microcuries (370 kilobecquerels) or less of alpha emitting material.
B. The test shall be capable of detecting the presence of 0.005 microcurie (185 becquerels) of radioactive material on the test sample. The test sample shall be taken from 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 contamina-tion to accumulate. Records of leak test results shall be kept in units of microcuries (or becquerels) and maintained for inspection by the department.

18. The licensee shall instruct all users that any maintenance or repair on the gauges involving removal of the source holders shall be performed only by the device manufacturer or by other persons specifically authorized by the department, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, an Agreement State, or a Licensing State (for NARM only) to perform such services.
19. The licensee shall conduct a physical inventory every six (6) months to account for all scaled sources received and possersed under the license.
