9.1.1. Radioactive Source Design Standards:
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.1. Radioactive systems shall conform to the requirements from 10 CFR, Energy, 49 CFR, Transportation, and local authorities as specified by the PSWG and Range Safety.
Note: Some references for Air Force property are AFI 40-201, Managing Radioactive Materials In The USAF, and AFI 91-110, Nuclear Safety Review and Launch Approval for Space or Missile Use of Radioactive Material and Nuclear Systems, DODD 3100.10, and for Kennedy Space Center KNPR 1860.1, KSC Ionizing Radiation Protection Program is used.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.2. Radioactive sources shall be designed to prevent the release of radioactive material.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.3. Radioactive sources shall incorporate shielding in the design to ensure minimum exposure to personnel. Where total protection from radiation exposure by use of shielding is not feasible, access controls shall be used.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.4. Radiation hazard warning signs and/or labels shall be fixed to the container or housing as directed by the appropriate RPO.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.5. High voltage sources shall be evaluated to determine their capability of producing X-rays.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.6. High voltage sources shall be properly shielded and shall use interlocks on cabinet doors to interrupt power when a door is open.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.7. Control measures for flight systems shall be handled on a case-by-case basis.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.8. Payload projects shall comply with local environmental policy and the NEPA, National Environmental Policy Act, requirements and provide compliance documentation to the RPO/RSO (or the Radiation Safety Committee (RADSAFCOM) on the WR).
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.9. Application for ionizing radiation permits shall be submitted in accordance with local radiation requirements as directed by the PSWG and Range Safety . USAF permits shall be submitted in accordance with AFI 40-201 and any range-specific requirements of 30 SWI 40-101 for the WR or 45 SWI 40-201 for the ER.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.1.10. The license holder or the payload project shall submit 3 copies of the NRC or State radioactive materials license with the appropriate permits to appropriate local safety authority as identified by the PSWG and Range Safety at least 90 calendar days before planned entry to the range.
|
C
|
|
|
Licensing and permitting requirements and procedures are specified in 10 CFR. For USAF, AFI 40-201, Managing Radioactive Materials in the USAF, and 45 SWI 40-201, Radiation Protection Program. For KSC Requirements are provided in KNPR 1860.1, KSC Ionizing Radiation Protection Program.

9.1.2. Additional ER and WR Design Controls:
|
I
|
|
|
9.1.2.1. Additional ER Design Controls:
|
I
|
|
|
9.1.2.1.1. Written approval for use of radioactive materials on CCAFS is provided by the 45 SW Radiation Safety Committee (RSC). ER payload projects shall brief the RSC on the hazards and procedures concerning the handling of radioactive sources and shall comply with any unique requirements of 45 SWI 40-201.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.2.1.2. Radioactive sources shall be handled under the supervision of the payload project or the RPO/RSO named on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license, state license or USAF permit.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.2.2. Additional WR Design Controls:
|
I
|
|
|
9.1.2.2.1. Written approval for use of radioactive materials on VAFB is provided by the 30 SW RADSAFCOM. WR payload projects shall brief the RADSAFCOM on the hazards and procedures concerning the handling of radioactive sources and shall comply with any unique requirements of 30 SWI 40-101 and 30 SW Supplement 1 to AFI 91-110.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.2.2.2. Radioactive sources shall be handled under the supervision of a designated payload project or the RPO/RSO named on the NRC license, state license, or USAF permit as described in AFI 40-201.
|
C
|
|
|
9.1.2.2.3. The final Safety Analysis Summary (SAS) and AFI 91-110 Radiation Protection Plan shall be submitted 120 days before source arrival on the range.
