American National Standard N542; sealed radioactive sources, classification. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6067680
This standard establishes a system of classification of sealed radioactive sources based on performance specifications related to radiation safety. It provides a manufacturer of sealed sources with a series of tests for evaluating the safety of his product under specified conditions, and also assists a user of such sources to select a type which suits the intended application insofar as maintenance of source integrity is concerned. Tests are prescribed for temperature, external pressure, impact, vibration, and puncture over a range of severity. Sealed source performance requirements are identified for a variety of source applications, in terms of a specific degree of severity of each test. Appendixes are included on the subjects of leak test methods, quality assurance and control, brachytherapy sources, self-luminous light sources, and special form radioactive material.
