Safety analysis of doubly encapsulated /sup 252/Cf medical sources, Model TALC-PC
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:7342714
This document describes the doubly encapsulated /sup 252/Cf neutron sources prepared for use in remote afterloading cancer brachytherapy. These neutron sources are classed as special form radioactive material and as such must meet certain Regulations prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation. This document describes the tests that have been performed and shows that this group of medical sources does meet the applicable DOT Regulations. The doubly encapsulated neutron sources are fabricated by the Savannah River Laboratory and are loaned by the U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration under contract agreement to medical organizations for evaluation of /sup 252/Cf in the treatment of cancer.
