Ohio Admin. Code 3701:1-46-41 - Ice detection devices containing strontium-90: quality assurance; prohibition of transfer
(A)
Each person
licensed under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code shall visually inspect each device and shall reject
any which has an observable physical defect that could affect containment of
the strontium-90.
(B)
Each person licensed under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code shall test each device for possible loss of
strontium-90 or for contamination by wiping with filter paper an area of at
least one hundred square centimeters on the outside surface of the device, or
by wiping the entire surface area if it is less than one hundred square
centimeters. The detection on the filter paper of more than two thousand two
hundred disintegrations per minute of radioactive material per one hundred
square centimeters of surface wiped shall be cause for rejection of the tested
device.
(C)
Each person licensed under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code shall :
(1)
Maintain quality assurance systems in the manufacture
of the ice detection device containing strontium-90 in a manner sufficient to
provide reasonable assurance that the safety-related components of the
distributed devices are capable of performing their intended functions;
and
(2)
Subject inspection lots to acceptance sampling
procedures, by procedures specified in paragraph (D) of this rule and in a
license issued under the rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code, to provide at least ninety five per cent confidence
that the lot tolerance per cent defective of five per cent will not be
exceeded.
(D)
Each person licensed under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code shall subject each inspection lot to:
(1)
Tests that
adequately take into account the individual, aggregate, and cumulative effects
of environmental conditions expected in service that could possibly affect the
effective containment of strontium-90, such as absolute pressure and water
immersion.
(2)
Inspection for evidence of physical damage,
containment failure, or for loss of strontium-90 after each stage of testing,
using methods of inspection adequate to determine compliance with the following
criteria for defective: a leak resulting in a loss of 0.1 per cent or more of
the original amount of strontium-90 from the device and any other criteria
specified in the license issued under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code.
(E)
No person
licensed under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code shall transfer to persons generally licensed under
rule
3701:1-46-10
of the Administrative Code, or under an equivalent general license of an
agreement state or the United States nuclear regulatory commission:
(1)
Any ice
detection device containing strontium-90 tested and found defective under the
criteria specified in a license issued under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code, unless the defective ice detection device has been
repaired or reworked, retested, and determined by an independent inspector to
meet the applicable acceptance criteria; or
(2)
Any ice
detection device containing strontium-90 contained within any lot that has been
sampled and rejected as a result of the procedures in paragraph (C)(2) of this
rule, unless:
(a)
A procedure for defining sub-lot size, independence,
and additional testing procedures is contained in the license issued under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code; and
(b)
Each individual
sub-lot is sampled, tested, and accepted in accordance with paragraphs (C)(2)
and (E)(2)(a) of this rule and any other criteria as may be required as a
condition of the license issued under rule
3701:1-46-40
of the Administrative Code.
