Two prime 0.6 curie Ra-Be SlC core sources were successfully fabricated by welding techniques without the use of a hot lab cell. Handiing techniques assured that no person received radiation exposure exceeding that permitted for the time period involved. Welds were made using both machine inert arc welding without the addition of filler metal and hand inent arc welding with the addition of filler metal. Results showed that welding of prime parts, which included the RaBe sources did not necessarily produce the same weldments as were obtained on evaluation samples. The evaluation samples were of the same corfiguration as the prime pants but did not include the RaBe source. (auth)
