PROTOTYPE TESTING OF PROPOSED RADIATION SOURCE FOR OCD DEMONSTRATION KIT CDV-457
Abstract
The purpose of the program covered in Contract OCD-OSs-62-238 was to design and test a beta-gamma source for use in the CDV-%57 training kit. The design proposed is shown in 3N Company print #A-1921-17, attached. Ten sources were prepared according to this design, six of which were subjected to one or more of the destructive teats outlined below. The other four were submitted to the OCD for their inspection and evaluation. The source integrity is such that, even when the sources were subjected to the very rigorous destructive tests, none of them released as much as O.OO% microcuries of radioactivity to the environment. The data obtained from the prototype tests should be very instrumental in obtaining favorable action from the AEC on wipe relief.
