Guide for the preparation of applications for use of sealed sources and devices for performing industrial radiography (Revision 1)

Book ·
OSTI ID:6890113

The purpose of this guide is to provide assistance in the preparation of an application for a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license for possession and use of sealed sources and devices for performing industrial radiography. Radiography, as used in this guide, means the examination of the structure of materials by nondestructive methods that use sealed sources of byproduct materials (radioisotopes). The radioisotopes most commonly used for radiography are cobalt-60 and iridium-192. This guide is intended only for general guidance in preparation of the license application and should not be considered a substitute for the applicant's careful safety evaluation of the proposed use of sealed sources and devices. The applicant must ensure that the application correctly and adequately describes the radiation safety measures and procedures to be followed to provide adequate protection.
