[ZJ Temporary Job Site Inspection Humboldt Mill, 4547 CR 601, Champion, MI PROGRAM SCOPE This was an announced field inspection of a fixed gauge manufacturer authorized by the Commonwealth of Kentucky to use radioactive material for numerous applications, including but not limited to the manufacture, distribution, installation, and servicing of fixed gauging devices. The manufacturer used this license to perform installation, removal, and service of such devices in NRC jurisdiction under the terms of a reciprocity request approved by Region I in January 2019. The scope of this inspection was limited to observations oflicensed activities (gauge handling and preparation for shipment) at Lundin Mining Company's Humboldt Mill in Champion, Michigan, where numerous Ronan RLL-1 devices were used under the terms of the General License in 10 CFR 31.5 for density measurements on copper and nickel ore concentration process line PERFORMANCE OBSERVATIONS The inspector accompanied the licensee's field engineer at the job site in Champion and observed the handling of one RLL-1 gauge incident to preparation for shipment to the licensee's facility in Kentucky. The client was returning the gauge so that the carbon steel source holder could be swapped for a stainless steel holder that would more durably resist the mildly corrosive environment to which it was subject in the mill. The inspector conducted independent and confirmatory surveys in the vicinity of this device, both before and after packaging, and noted the use pf adequate ALARA practices, personnel monitoring, and calibrated survey equipment throughout. The engineer demonstrated an adequate knowledge of US DOT requirements for transporting radioactive material as he prepared the package and accompanying shipping paperwork. The inspector interviewed representatives of the client, and discussed their implementation of licensee procedures for removing RLL-1 gauges from service, sealed source leak testing, as well as the implementation of security measures for the device once removed from the process lin The inspector also reviewed a selection of records, including leak test results, shipping papers, and documentation demonstrating that the package met USDOT testing requirements for Type A package No violations ofNRC requirements were identified as a result of this inspection.
