g 150MEDIX December 22, 1983 Mr, Joseph C. Wang Material Licensing Branch Division of Fuel Cycle and Material Safety U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Dear Mr. Wang:
RE: 030-0834 This is in response to your November 10, 1983 letter. Construction delays and changes have revised our personnel placement plans, regarding the Ohio and Whippany f acilities. Under separate cover, a license amendment is being submitted to delete Ronald Llewellyn as the on-site RSO in Whippany, and substitute Mr. Craig Herring. We feel his qualifications are quite adequate. Mr. Llewellyn, then, would be transferred to Ohio per the license request you are reviewing. The timetable for the 2 units, botn for 1984, is: Acceptance Source Testing Loading Startup Ohio Late March Early April Mid-April Whippany Late April Early May Mid-May Since both constructions are progressing during winter months, where bad weather can influence schedules, some slippage could occur. Regarding your second item, I visited the Ohio State Universi-ty's Staf f recently to discuss their program for handling potentially overexposed personnel. They are licensed by Region III (License No. 34-00293-02), and as part of their license condition, must maintain an emergency program, (a "Disaster Plan"), which has been found acceptable to NRC. 12: Pd L2 010 (9. pqggq$ y ag. MFY $5T W _- I -- h\ ISOMEDI.: INC.
3.wwc3 Mr. Joseph C. Wang December 22, 1983 i Dr. Shiela Hodgson, Director of Radiation Oncology (a permanent staf f member) , has been designated on 24-hour call for over-exposure incidents. The emergency room procedures call for her being contacted immediately, as soon as the emergency room becomes aware of a real or potential incident. Our general discussion left me confident that the OSUH staff and procedores were quite adequate, and rather than nur trying to implement a second set of procedures, it would be more efficient to utilize their existing Plan. l , I hope this will enable you to successfully continue your review.

It is the intent of this presentation to describe the l j
, unit .with special emphasis This willoninclude the safety-related detailed procedures system l and its operation.
j applicable to the opes ation of the f acility; however, it ,
- 5) .
is not the' intent to discuss the detailed operating pro- ! j cedure's of the irradiator mechanism. . . i e ! The mechanism is schedu3ed for installation into insta13a- the j To33owing ! concrete shie3 ding in March,1984. i (h ' tion of the mechani sm and t he tot al raf ety system, all i aspects of the f acility creration, again with special r emphasis on the saf ety devices , will be checked to assur e ' l proper operation. Only af ter the saf ety system is ir.t act and operationally correct, will source be loaded inte the l I source rack. q 3ecause 'of the logistics of installation And uncertain , shipping times, it is pessible that the source will arrive f l . cn-site prior to final checkout of the total saf ety syst er i I ( If this occurs, the source will be held in the shipping f j cacks, and unloaded into the pool for stor age as soon as the pool-related safety system is function'al (water cir- l
) culation system, pool chiller, water level ficats). , ) !

,1 - 32 3.2 CENERAL FACiU TY DetRATion The drawing in Appendix B shows the general lavout of the irradia coz in relation to an associated 32,0'00 so. ft. warehouse area which will support pre- and post-irradiation product storage and handling. The Isomedix (Ohio), Inc. sterilization f acility employs a carrier type gamina st erilizer, designed to process products contained in cartons. Prior to processing, product is loaded into the carriers in a "non-sterile" storage area in.the warehouse. A rnonorail located outside of the unit is available for the looding and storage caf carriers scheduled for radiation processing. The system ' a totally automated, continuous irradiator. Carrierr are fed into and out of the shield on a timer sequence. Aside from maintenance requirements, malfunctions or inspections, there is little reason to enter the radiation chamber. The source pass rnechanism holds the carriers in four rows, two rows on each side of t he sour ce. When the sour ce is raised and the tsachine st a rted , the carriers are moved through the mechanism by pneumatic cy) nders located on the overhead rails, every carrier occupying each of the dwell pestions for an coual interval of time. Exposure time is reculated by a 'rnaster tirner in 'the control console. Carriers dontal'ning sterile product are unloade'd in' the sterile storage arca and returned to non-sterile storage to be loaded again.

The following is a summary taken from Earthquake History of the United States, Publication No. 41-1, Revised, U.S. Department of Commerce: The upper Mississippi and Ohio Valleys are regions of relatively frequent quakes. The most severe quakes in the Midwest occurred in 1911-12, with epicenters near : J . New Madrid, Missouri.. The quakes, with an intensity 3 of XII on the Modified Mercalli Scale, 9ere felt in Ohio. (These 3 quakes occurred prior to the mid 1870's, when reliable records began to be kept. The descriptions of damage were given by those who experienced them. Dept. of Commerce cautions against total reliability in the accounts, as apparently there were no formal data
)
, gathering mechanisms in place, and verbal accounts varied ' s over the years as stories were told and retold). From 1975 on, when records were kept, there are some 25 recorded quakes in the State of Ohio. Their intensitien ranged from V to VII, Mercalli. Relevant Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (1931) 1 i designations are given below, along with a seismic risk J map for the United States. V. Felt by nearly everyone; n.any awakened. Some J ;
; dishes, windows, etc., broken; a few instances of cracked
{ plaster; unstable objects overturned. Disturbance of trees, ll { l poles, and other tall objects scmetimes noticed. Pendult;.- j clocks may st op. (V to VI Rossi-Forel Scale.) l I, I
4-4 (b) 4 4 VI. Felt by all; many frightened and run outdoors. t Some heavy furniture moved; a few instances of fallen plaster or damaged chimneys. Damage. slight. (VI to VII Rossi-Forel - Scale.) ; VII. 'verybody runs outdoors. Damage ng1igible in j buildings of good design and construction; slight to ' n.oderate in well built ordinary structures; considerable { l ' in poorly built or badly designed structures. Some - e ch i n.n ey s br o), en . Noticed by persons driving niotorcars. t (v321 - Fetsi-Forel Scale.) : i These intensities are at least five orders less J than would be necessary to cause ground cracking and ! damage to a structure like the storage pool which is ! made of reinforced concrete, is lined with stainless
- l steel and is essentially independent of the building i housing it. The record has certainly borne out that l there is no reason to anticipate or plan for ground 1
displacement or structrual damage from earthquakes at the Isomedix facility. i, i i l I E i

Discussip3 The structural portion of the facility has been designed to accommodate earth movements of the magnitudes indicated by past recorded experience. The pool itself is constructed as an integral unit separate from the floor of the irradiator building and the foundation walls. The pool is f ree to move relative to the interior building, thus minimizing the stresses applied to walls and floor of the pool during any earth movement. l The Columbus area is considered to be in the "Minor Da.. age area, as shown on the Seismic Risk map above. l 1 i i i i

?
8.3.1 GENERAL Although plant facilities and equipment are j aesigned to minim ~ize radiation hazards and to ; facilitate their control, the possibility of an unf oreseen accident cannot be overlooked. Radia- ! l 1
' tion monitoring systems, through their meters and alar.m features, provi'de warning and measurement ;
l , of abnormal conditions'to employees and the Radia- ( L s tion Protection Officer. Warning of a condition l requiring cmergency action might also come from an j operator in his observation of such a condition. ' l
. t
] However, in virtually every conceivable instance,, 1 the radiation monitoring syatem would respond to ! i ' the condition also. . ( 8 .3.2 RADIATION A.LARM . 1 If any unexplained audible alarm sounds, *

2 l. a- _ _ , . - - . . . . _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
l E-17 1 1 - l l r l l If the alarm sounds and the cause can be i immediately ascertained and controlled by the operator, he can first control the cause and then reset the alarm systen. He will then notify the i RPO or his designee of the situation and circum-stances surrounding the incident. If the alarm sounds and the cause cannot be ; inn. diately ascertained and controlled, personnel I will proceed to their designated area. The RPO or i . his designee, determines the appropriate action i based on a review of the monitoring system, ' l ratemeters, and other available information. ' j Appropriate action by a designee could be to keep ; people assembled or evacuate the area while call-I ing for further assistance. l Emergency actions selected are based on . l limiting radiation e>Jpoi,ures to employees with regular restricted area access authorization to 2.5 rem and other employees to .25 rem during i the course of the. em'ergeney and its af termath.
~
Actions that are considered include: relocation of sources, erection of temporary barriers or shieldi..g, area or building evacuation.

- Heuller tube which produces output pulses at a frequency proportional to the r a d i,a t i on, l e vo l . These pulses, are then l

- 7 I
The output, of the transducer detector drives the l
- red AL ARM lamp (LED). This output also feeds an R-C Integrator having a relative 1y "long" time constant. Therefore, the 1
! , l } DC output voltage from the R-C Integrator is consequently f j proportional to the radiation level. a The output of this.R-C Integrator goes.to a l set by the ALARM l COMPARATOR whosg reference voltage is . SENSITIVITY trimpot. , ;

If the radiation should increase to an unsafe level,
