Section 28-35-181o - Specific licenses to manufacture and distribute sources and devices for use as a calibration, transmission, or reference source or for certain medical uses
Universal Citation: KS Admin Regs 28-35-181o
Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 52, December 26, 2024
(a) Each application for a specific license to manufacture and distribute sources and devices containing radioactive material to persons licensed as specified in K.A.R. 28-35-181d for use as a calibration, transmission, or reference source or for one or more of the uses listed in 10 C.F.R. 35.400, 35.500, 35.600, and 35.1000, as adopted by reference in K.A.R. 28-35-264, shall include the following information regarding each type of source or device:
(1) The radioactive material contained, its
chemical and physical form, and amount;
(2) details of design and construction of the
source or device;
(3) procedures
for, and results of, prototype tests to demonstrate that the source or device
will maintain its integrity under stresses likely to be encountered in normal
use and in accidents;
(4) for
devices containing radioactive material, the radiation profile for a prototype
device;
(5) details of quality
control procedures to ensure that the production sources and devices meet the
standards of the design and prototype tests;
(6) procedures and standards for calibrating
sources and devices;
(7) legend and
methods for labeling sources and devices as to their radioactive
content;
(8) radiation safety
instructions for handling and storing the source or device. These instructions
shall be included on a durable label attached to the source or device. However,
instructions that are too lengthy for the label may be summarized on the label
and printed in detail on a brochure that is referenced on the label;
(9) the label that is to be affixed to the
source or device or to the permanent storage container for the source or
device. The label shall contain information on the radio-nuclide, quantity, and
date of assay, and a statement that the source or device is licensed by the
department for distribution to persons licensed under
K.A.R.
28-35-181d or under an equivalent license of
the nuclear regulatory commission (NrC) or an agreement state. Labeling for
sources that do not require long-term storage may be on a leaflet or brochure
that is to accompany the source; and
(10) documentation that the source or device
is listed on the nuclear regulatory commission's sealed source and device
registry.
(b)
(1) If the applicant wants to have the source
or device required to be tested for leakage of radioactive material at
intervals longer than six months, the applicant shall include in the
application sufficient information to demonstrate that the longer interval is
justified by performance characteristics of the source or device, or similar
sources or devices, and by design features that have a significant bearing on
the probability or consequences of leakage of radioactive material from the
source.
(2) In determining the
acceptable interval between tests for leakage of radioactive material,
information that includes the following shall be considered by the secretary:
(A) The nature of the primary
containment;
(B) the method for
protection of the primary containment;
(C) the method of sealing the
containment;
(D) containment
construction materials;
(E) the
form of the contained radioactive material;
(F) the maximum temperature withstood during
prototype tests;
(G) the maximum
pressure withstood during prototype tests;
(H) the maximum quantity of contained
radioactive material;
(I) the
radiotoxicity of contained radioactive material; and
(J) the applicant's operating experience with
identical sources or devices or with similarly designed and constructed sources
or devices.
