PROGRAM SCOPE This was a routine, announced inspection of NASA's John H. Glenn Research Center operations.
The licensee was authorized to use byproduct materials with atomic numbers 3-83, a portable moisture density gauge (use limited to neutron exposure/detection), depleted uranium-molybdenum alloy core segments for material testing, and numerous Sr-90, Am-24 I, Cs-I 3 7 small reference sources for counting studies and instrument calibration.
The licensee em ployed 3,000 individuals at its site, with 20 individuals approved as principle investigators for use of RAM; these principle investigators worked under the supervision of the RSO and another individual who were specifically named on the license. The licensee used its material as needed (at least quarterly) based on the testing schedules to support the agency's space mission. The licensee also possessed generally licensed H-3 exit signs and a Cd-I 09 lead paint analyzer. This inspection consisted of interviews with licensee personnel, a review of select records, a tour of the laboratories, and independent measurements.
The inspector toured the licensee's facility to evaluate the licensee's measures for material security, hazard communication and exposure control. The inspector noted that all radioactive material was secured; all laboratory and storage areas were key-controlled with access granted only to the authorized individuals.
The inspector reviewed other aspects of the licensee's radiation protection program, including audits of the radiation protection program, surveys, rad worker and DOT HAZMA T training, survey instrument calibration, physical inventory, waste management (including radwaste shipments), labeling of containers, and postings.
No violations ofNRC requirements were identified during this inspection NRC FORM 591M PART 3 (07-2012)
