Sealed source and device design safety testing

This report covers the Task 1 activities for the Sealed Source and Device Design Safety Test Program. The NRC and Agreement States evaluate radiation safety information and register the designs of products containing radioactive materials. Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has been contracted to perform an examination of the licensing information submitted by vendors. The intent of this investigation is to verify vendor testing and analysis and to determine where further testing is warranted to ensure the radiation safety of the sealed source and device designs. Results of interviews with users are presented and recommendations are made for tests to be developed during Task 2
