B.
Receiving Radioactive Material
** NOTE **
1) A radioactive material package must be accepted from the carrier at the time it is delivered. [10 CFR
20.1906(a)(1)].
2)
If a radioactive material package is to be held at the carrier's terminal for pickup, arrangements must be made to
receive notification from the carrier of the arrival of the package at the time of arrival. The package must be picked
up expeditiously upon receipt of notification (within three hours if practicable). [10 CFR 20.1906(c)].
3)
Monitoring, as described below, must be performed as soon as practicable but at least within three hours if received
during normal working hours or within three hours of the next work day if received after normal working hours. [10
CFR 20.1906].
i.
Upon receipt of a package of radioactive material, the package shall be placed in a restricted area. Assure the
appropriate personnel are notified.
ii. Survey the entire exterior surface of the package at the time of receipt and assure that the maximum radiation
level does not exceed 2 mSv/hr (200 mRem/hr). Survey all sides of the package at 1 m from the exterior
surfaces of the packages, and assure that the maximum radiation level does not exceed 0.1 mSv/hr (10
mRem/hr). If either of these limits are exceeded, notify the Radiation Safety Officer immediately. Record the
maximum radiation levels measured at the package surface and at 1 m from the package surface on the
Receiving Report. [10 CFR 20.1906(d), 10 CFR 71.47].
Note: If any of these limits are exceeded, the Radiation Safety Officer must immediately notify the
USNRC (or applicable governing agency) and the final delivering carrier.
4)
Inspect the package for any evidence of physical damage. Record the results of this inspection on the Receiving
Report. Record on the Receiving Report the date, source model number, source serial number, radionuclide,
activity, the individual’s name making the record, the transport package model number and the package serial
number. [10 CFR 34.63].
5)
Assure that the package is locked, or place the package into an outer locked container, and secure the package in
accordance with your license requirements. [10 CFR 34.35, 10 CFR 34.23].
6)
Keep a copy of the Operating Manual and the Type A certification for the Model 98229 (or alternate approved Type
A transport package) on file to assure you have the proper opening and handling instructions. Assure that the
instructions are followed and any noted special precautions are performed. [10 CFR 20.1906(e)].
Note: For licensees transporting special form sources in licensee owned or operated vehicles to and
from a work site, such transport is exempt from the contamination monitoring requirements.
The radiation survey required upon receipt must still be performed. [10 CFR 20.1906(f)].
C.
General Shipment Requirements
The locked Model 989 exposure device in the lockable, reusable Model 98229 storage and shipping case meet the
requirements for a Type A shipping package under the regulations of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the U.S.
Department of Transportation and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
